| How do I increase my chances of being hired as a Police Officer? I know that to be hired as LEO is extremely competitive. Currently, I am wanting advice on how to make myself a better candidate. I am currently a freshman attending college for a degree in criminal justice with a minor in spanish. I am also enlisted in the Army Reserves as a 25U (Signal Systems Support Specialist). Once I graduate college I am wanting to attend OCS (Officer Candidate School) and be a Officer in the Army Reserves. After that, I am wanting to be hired with a Police Department somewhere in the Midwest. My first choice of department would be one in Kansas or Oklahoma. While in college I am planning on obtaining a part-time job and holding it for a long period of time. Is there a type of part-time job that would be more impressive than another. I was considering retail. I will probably also try to get experience in the CJ field during a college internship. Also, I was going to get involved in at least one volunteer agency, probably Big Brothers/Big Sisters or something similar. On top of that I have been keeping in excellent physical shape. I have no convictions and only have one non-moving traffic ticket. Are here any type of college clubs or anything else I can do to increase my chance of being hired by a Midwest Police Department. |
