Pay varies from state to state and department to department. Here is our pay scale.... http://www.lacity.org/per/psb/lapd_salary.htm What it takes is to be certain that you really want to be a cop and for the right reasons and not for power, control or revenge....

You at least need a High School diploma but since you graduate HS at 18(generally) you should spend those 2 years or so getting an A.S. in Justice Administration from a nearby Community College or better yet get a Bachelors or even a graduate degree so that you can be promoted easier. The average pay throughout the USA is $47,000 but in major cities pay is around $54,000 a year. It takes a lot of patience and good judgment to be a police officer. A lot of people aren't going to like you for the fact that you are a Law Enforcement Officer but don't take it personally. All you need is to be 21 years old and pass a background investigation.
