Tricky answer. In most states, the minimum age to apply to be a police officer is 18 (state law) BUT almost all police departments require at least 1 year of criminal justice training or a 2 year degree at a community college (minimally). By the time they go through the hiring process, the police academy and field training, an applicant that was 18 when they first applied would probably be 21 or 22 before they would be sworn in.
