Thanks guys, I am humbled by the advice you take the time out of your day to lend me! I will look into it more to see if I can make it happen.

Thanks y2bad4u! How long is the academy? Two semesters?

Good evening gents. Well the last semester of my college career begins tomorrow and without a job lined up I'm a little nervous as to what my future holds. I've always been intrigued by a career in law enforcement and was curious as to the process of becoming a peace officer. Here are some questions that I currently have for you folks:

What is the basic process of becoming an LEO short of a department's hiring process?

Is the completion of a college/junior college academy necessary?

What parts of the process can be accomplished on-line?

Is it possible to begin any of this while I am still in school?

My thinking is that if there is some way to do everything short of applying to a specific department then if after a month or so after graduation I still haven't found a job then I would have this to fall back on. Thanks guys.
