for state police you need 60college credits, not in CJ but any major. you need to be atleast 20yrs old. the exam is given every 4 years, last exam was Jan 26th 08.

28,000people sign up  
21,000 show up for the test  
15,000 pass  
10,000 are accepted into the recruitment process  
4,000 pass background/polygraph/driving record investigations and are accepted into the trooper academy  
3,500 will pass academy.

- thats what they told us at the review classes atleast.

so basically, you have to have 2 yr degree, a decent background, not lie about anything, and really want it. It’s a long process, but for me its worth it. I’m still waiting to hear my score, so i can tell when i may or may not be called in.

No it’s 20. I am 20 and took the test in January. You need to be 21 before entering the academy.

its 61,000 starting, but raises come frequently as long as you don’t blow up a car, or shoot anyone. after 5 years it peaks at like 85k w/ overtime.
