What qualifications are needed to join the american police force? I'm english but I want to live in America and work in the police force. What GCSE's will I need, and if I have GCSE's will I have to retake the American equivilant to them. Also what other things will I need such as clean criminal record and drining license, and strength, bravery etc. Plus (sorry!) what good cheap airlines go to washington from london? Thankyou in advavnce!!

Best Answer:
Most likely, you will need to establish US Citizenship. I'm not sure if you can have a work visa and work on the force. In any case, there is a police academy and you will most likely have to pass that as well as the civil service exam. As far as airlines - perhaps Virgin Atlantic? I know British Airways is too expensive. Good luck.
