Foreign Police Service

[AmarulaCream]

Hi folks,

I was curious where one could obtain employment as a law enforcement officer outside of the US & Canada if that person holds both US and Canadian Citizenship?

Thanks for any answers!!!

Amarula, that is beautiful ancient script there under your handle...may I ask what it is?

AmarulaCream-

There are any number of answers to that question.

Every nation, state, providence, county, parish, city, town, and village each has their own rules. Some places may require citizenship of the country in question, and others may merely require legal residence. Training, education, and military service requirements will vary wildly throughout the world.

oh that... it is actually modern Hebrew and is the "moto" of the Shin Bet, meaning- "defender that shall not be seen".

Comes from my Israeli training... ;-)

Citicop- I appreciate your response and after following this board for over two years I have grown to respect you a great deal... even if you are from the "corn-huskin, bible-belt" part of the country :-P

I am primarily interested in Barbados, Bermuda, other Islands, Australia, New Zealand, UK, and especially Switzerland!!! Any Stadtpolizei Zurich on here please speak up!!!

Cheers!

I thought so. I love history. Love ancient languages and love archaelogy. If I were given 3 wishes, the first one would be to quit my job and just go on archaeological digs in the Middle East. I'd start in Yemen...and slowly move up toward your area I've found some of the coolest things imaginable in Jordan. Envy your training btw

I'm an Aussie. We need permanent residency to work here which doesnt require you to surrender your citizenship. WA police were sponsoring members to come across and join, sponsoring citizenship etc, however a bunch came from England then resigned on the spot and they couldnt do anything about it as they were now citizens!!

My dept (Victoria Police) is recruiting now and looking for experienced members from OS. Let me know if you want further!

Australia is a dream country of mine... talk to me me bro!!!

Victoria Police - Delivering a Safer Victoria

Love it here, pretty casual life style, great beaches, great country, only takes 4 hours to fly from coast to coast, living is not too badly priced (unless you go to Sydney in NSW, but Vic is hundred times better and people are nicer)

Schools are good, dont have to put your kids through metal detectors at school.

What more can I say!

The UK is broke! So my force is not recruiting for at least 2-3 years. One of the requirements is that you live here (legally) for 3 years before you can apply.
