Some work in boats on rivers and in harbors

Most police officers and detectives work at least 40 hours a week

They have to be ready to go to work at all times

Police officers may work very long hours on a case

Some have to travel a lot, often on short notice

Some police officers work outdoors in all kinds of weather

Some take very big risks when they chase criminals in cars or when they make an arrest

Good training, teamwork, and good equipment keep police officers safe

S

citizens

They must be healthy, strong, and of good character

To get a job, a person must pass a written test, be at least a high school graduate, and have some work experience

Some local, special, and State police units want recruits to have some college training

Certain Federal police agencies require a college degree

Many police units encourage new recruits to take college courses in police work

HOW MUCH DOES THIS JOB PAY?

In May of 2008, police officers had average yearly wages of $52,810

Police get paid for overtime

Police also receive paid vacation, sick leave, and medical and life insurance

Often they get money for uniforms

Many retire at half-pay after 25 or 30 years of service

HOW MANY JOBS ARE THERE?

There were about 661,500 police officers, sheriffs, and detectives in 2008

Almost 9 out of 10 worked for local government

The rest worked for state or federal police agencies

WHAT ABOUT THE FUTURE?

Employment of police officers and detectives is expected to increase about as fast as the average for all occupations through 2018

Many people are attracted to police work because it is challenging and offers an opportunity to serve their communities

Persons with college training in police science or who have military experience, or both, should have the best chances for a job
