What are the requirements to be a Law enforcement officer in New York?

What are the requirements to be a Law enforcement officer in New York? What is the age requirement and what type of classes should be taken, background, etc...


For New York State Trooper, you must have at LEAST a degree in criminal justice and then apply to the police academy (it is on the Averill Harriman State office campus in Albany New York) ---I used to work there.... and attend the police academy.... graduate and then be assigned anywhere throughout the state.... you must be at LEAST 25 and I believe the cut off age is 35 but it could be younger now...be in excellent physical condition and health... be proficient in fire arms and pass all required tests while at the academy... For town police or sheriff patrol, the requirements are ABOUT the same... but the training is a little different....also, you must have NO felony's on your record....or prior arrests...

for state police which i'm going to be its an associates degree in Crim. Jus. and be 21 with nothing over a misdeamenor 2 on your record..be in good health..and complete the 29 week cadet program which pays 1,000$ per week. its 60 credits to get in...college is 60, military is 30..municipal police work is worth 30..prison is worth 15
