Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.

I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.

I'm doing research for a novel and i'm wondering if a homicide detective is able to conduct investigations statewide or is he restricted to the jurisdiction of his city/county, even if the investigation may lead him to other parts of the state?

Asked by Kevin The Writer over 11 years ago

It depends on the state. Generally, yes. However, he or she would work closely with the detectives of the jurisdiction he or she wound up in.

When becoming a patrol officer what are some requirements you have to know/do before you are able to get a job as one?

Asked by Randi over 12 years ago

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.
