What You'll Do: Police officers have a wide range of duties depending on their specialization. Uniformed officers generally patrol assigned districts and respond to emergencies. Detectives look for evidence and conduct interviews to solve crimes. Wardens work in the outdoors and enforce hunting laws, fishing laws and more. These police officers and other types of officers have the following general duties: report writing, patrolling, interviewing, responding to calls, issuing citations, making arrests, and testifying in court.

You will probably be assigned to a specific district within the US where you will carry out your duties. Most police work is done in a police station or on the road, and you may work long and unusual hours to close a case, finish paperwork, or when you are called into action while on call.

Education and Training: A high school diploma is the minimum requirement for most police jobs, but most employers prefer or require a college degree. A police academy program must also be completed before hire. This intense training period introduces prospective officers into the world of law enforcement and molds them into the brave men and women they must be on the streets. You will learn and be tested in the areas of: law, ethics, driving ability, firearms proficiency, self-defense, first aid, traffic control, interviewing techniques, emergency response and more.

After passing police academy, you may become a sworn officer if you are at least 21 years old. For the first few years, patrol duties are usually mandatory. If you perform those duties well, you will get a chance to specialize and become a detective or S.W.A.T. officer, for example. If you are good at your job, there should be no shortage of promotional opportunities.

The Future: The Police Officer profession is expected to grow at about 7% through 2020.

The Pay: Annual salaries for Police Officers in the U.S. range from $32,400 to $88,800, with the average median annual wage hitting $55,200 in 2012 as per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
