Hiring at 20 1/2

[POTim529]

I am currently 20 1/2 looking to jump into the police field. I am currently a security officer in MO. I will have my associates this spring. Do you know of any kansas/missouri agencies hiring that I could apply to?

Thanks much,
Tim

You can attend most all LE academies in MO. Some are Full-time, 3 months, or part-time 6-9 months depending on whether you want Class A or Class B Commision. In the state of MO you HAVE to be 21 to take P.O.S.T. So you can start an academy in the Spring probably, and be 21 by the end and take your test. Or you could go to one now and graduate, but have to wait to take the test. That is risky because of the amount of infomation you must retain to take the test. Or apply for MSHP, like I did, I'll be 21 in Dec, and I've been conditionally hired by MSHP for the January academy. Good Luck!
