What courses, should I take in high school, to get into law enforcement?

Asked by Junior almost 11 years ago

Talk to your guidance counselor on what options are available at your school. You want to make sure you have a solid background in english, math and science. Sports are also something you should be involved in. If there is a law enforcement explorers unit in your area, you should check it out.

what does the first responding office do when they arrive at a crime?

Asked by cutiepie18 over 11 years ago

Every scene is different. If the crime is in progress, stopping the criminal from hurting others is the first priority. If the crime is not in progress (or once the criminal has been stopped), providing aid to injured people is the highest priority.

Would getting a degree in forensic science be useful for policing? I hear that everything you need to know will be taught during the academy? THX for your time.

Asked by Jimmy almost 11 years ago

A forensic science degree may be useful for certain specialized duties. The academy teaches the absolute basics needed to begin a policing career. It does not teach you everything you need to know. It is a starting point only.

When cops do prostitution stings, are the arrests always made on the spot? How likely are police to make arrests if the act isn't witnessed in a sting type operation? Been watching a lot of dateline predator stories and the topic never comes up.

Asked by notacop almost 11 years ago

Police officers are not required to arrest someone at the time of the crime. People can be arrested after the crime has been committed.
