How Old Do You Have to Be to Become a Police Officer in Indiana?
Question by Chris V: How old do you have to be to become a police officer in Indiana?
My driver claims that he used to be a police officer in Indiana but I find it hard to believe since he was only 20 when he joined the Army. Does anyone know the age requirements and if so where you can find them. I know you don’t qualify for the pension program unless you’re over 21. I’m just curious cuz we listen to him tell bullshit stories all day every day and I’m tired of it.
