    Well im guessing you are about 18-19 years old. In most depts. you have to be 20 or 21 years old. I say go to college and get at least a 2 year degree since you still have time to wait anyway. It will help you in the hiring process and it is always good to further your education. You don't have to rush into police work right out of high school. Go to college, stay on top of your work, be patient and see what happens after school.

    Go to college man, don't rush into the job yet. College will help you somewhat out there on the street and in court. The job will still be there in 2 years.
