If you want to become a Police Officer you will go through a much different process than many of
the certification programs for other professional careers. Each municipality has its own requirements
for joining the force, in which many jobs do not require specific certification, although many jobs
require specific training and testing. Usually a physical and an extensive background check is required. Military
service and a sports background can be favorable for an applicant with a clean record.
I can hardly be over emphasized how much the private security industry has grown since 9/11/01. With it the demand for highly
trained security professionals has grown exponentially. The careers are as varied as the types of industry in the world and
virtually everyone from any place in their professional life can find a good fit in this growing field. The advancements
in technology make Security Guards a much more fundamental element in most corpoate and government envirnments.
One example of the the
growth of the security field is the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) which has become nearly a household
name and infamous to those who use air travel frequently.
This is also a field where degrees in Criminal Justice can lead to rapid career advancement. Furthermore, as municiple
and state budgets have suffered severe cuts due to the economic crisis that is arguably a global crisis,
private security has become much more in demand as response times by traditional law enforcement departments has slowed
in many areas.
