WELL i was born in the uk and went to school here and got my GCSE and i might be moving to the USA (los angeles) and was thinking of joining but can i still join if iv went to school here coz it say this on the website ''Education Graduation from a U.S. high school, G.E.D. or equivalent from a U.S. institution, or a California High School Proficiency Examination (CHSPE) certificate is required. A two-year or a four-year college degree from an accredited U.S. or foreign institution may be substituted for the high school requirement.'' im not sure if i count if i went to school in the uk and have my gcse or should i go uni like it say? please help

Most police departments will hire legal aliens, that is you must be a legal resident,but you do not have to be a citizen. Your schooling in a foreign country counts the same as schooling here.

If you are naturalized citizen, yes. That is the first hurdle. Of course you can be just as good a cop in the UK.

You have to be an American Citizen......... You have to become a citizen within a year of being hired in the department. I would know...... born and raised in Spain :D Good Luck
