<human>: I have a friend who is interested in becoming a police officer. What are the requirements?
<bot>: The first step to becoming a police officer is to obtain a high school diploma or GED. You must then pass a written exam and physical agility test administered by the state. After that, you will need to complete an application process which may include drug testing, psychological evaluation, and background check. Once your application has been approved, you will attend a police academy and receive specialized training for the job. Finally, you must successfully complete a field training program before being certified as a police officer.
