AboutMike Martin Expertise I have been a certified Police Officer for 33 years. While I cannot answer legal questions (I am not a lawyer, just a cop) I can answer questions related to proper police procedures and techniques. I cannot answer questions involving employment qualifications. Each department is different. You will need to check with the department where you wish to apply.
Question hi, im 16 and i am really interested in becoming a detective. I want to be in the special vitims unit. what is the training for that specific area. Do i have to go to collage. Do i need some sort of degree?
Answer Detectives are cops for years before they are chosen to be promoted to detective. Its not a job you apply for, it is something you are chosen for. So contact the department where you want to be a cop and see what their requirements are and go from there.
