Becoming a LEO

[Stray]

Hi all,

I've been thinkingof how I can go about getting in the law enforement field and kinda looking for help.

My plan is this..I'm 25 and am interested in enlisting in the air force or the air national guards under SECURITY FORCES and in the meantime attend a local college to get a degree in Law Enforcement...soon after try to find some job openings....does thi sound the right way to go about it? Any advice/tips/suggestions?


If you had to give advice on getting into the field what would it be?

The quickie answer is...

Military and college are both big time qualifiers. As for as MOS in the military, yeah SP/MP are good, but in reality it doesn't really matter. What the agencies look at is the discipline and self motivation instilled in you.

With that, I'm moving this into "Ask a Cop".

Thanks for the question.
