Requirements vary from state to state and department to department. Generally, you would need a GED or high school diploma, good driving record, and a clean criminal history. Most departments will also require a physical fitness test, a polygraph, drug testing, a stable employment history, excellent references, a psychological evaluation, some form of IQ or mental abilities test, and a credit check. Many departments also require an applicant to have two years of college (or more) or military service with an honorable discharge. The minimum age for employment varies, but is normally 18 or 21 years old.
