Hello Rakesh

Detectives, also known as criminal investigators or agents, gather up facts and collect proof of possible crimes. This is a physically demanding job and working around the clock is a common practice. 

Education

You must have at least a high school or GED and then move on to academy training. For academy training you need to be over age 21, have a driver’s license, be a citizen, and meet physical acceptability including hearing, vision and endurance testing. Previous military experience is beneficial; however, previous convictions of any kind can hinder.

The academy is the method to become a detective; you’ll being by serving as a “recruit” before any position. Then a hopeful-detective recruit trains to become a police officer and only then can she or he be promoted to the position of “detective” after acquiring the needed experience of a police officer.

If you have a bachelor’s degree in law enforcement or criminal justice can be an added bonus and have a better job opportunity then those with just an associates, GED, or high school degree. Even better is the hopeful detective with the ability to speak more than one language.
