Question
Hi. My name is Muharem, 20 years old. Currently i am in progress of receiving a bachelors degree in criminal justice. My goal is to reach homicide detective, how much time is required to reach such position?

Answer
Muharem, the amount of time needed to become a homicide detective is hard to describe...basically, one must be a street cop for many years to develop his/her knowledge of evidence rules, court procedures and to develop good informants...there is no shortcut.
