Hello to everybody. I recently moved to US (San Francisco) from Canada. I will get my green card soon. Planning to join local Law Enforcement agency. Behind my sholders: high school, 2 year college ( Law and Security), life experience (married, separated, divorced..), work experience not related to police, volunteering experience with two local police agency in Canada for 3 years, decent credit history, additional languages, clean driving and criminal records and I'm 30. I am confident that I have most what every police agency is looking for.

I am looking for any info that would help me to join police service. What are my options and first steps?

Thanks to all and good luck with your career choice.

Based on what you wrote, the thing that will hold you back the most is not being a U.S. citizen. All of the police departments that I'm familiar with require you to be a U.S. citizen to apply to become a police officer. Why did you move from Canada?

Looking for a better life

I didn't think Canada was so bad! I'm not sure, but I would think your chances of becoming a police officer would be better in Canada.
