    start your application now with your departments of interrests, you might get hired by the time you leave the army. Or self-sponsor your self and attend the academy. you wil get hired while attending !

    I have 9 months to go in the Army, I would like to get directly into an academy. I figured it would be easier to get hired to a department if I am already certified. Is that a possible way to go?

    Like James Soloman Smith I would like to become an officer but do not know where to begin. I have a bachelors degree in CJ and a minor degree in Psychology. I just do not know where to begin. Can anyone give me some advice?

    Study up on your spelling and language skills first. If you can't write you aren't much use to any police force.
