Where do I look for entry level law enforcement jobs, like a jailer or a dispatcher?

I want to be a police officer, but I can not do that until I am 21. I will be out of high school in May. Of course, I am 18 already with a spotless criminal record. I would like some help in finding where I apply to. I live in Omaha, Nebraska, if that is any help to you.

Check with your local civil service office. They can tell you if there are any qualifications you'd need to work on to get those jobs and they offer tests you can take to get on an eligibility list to get a job.
Reply:you have to be 21 to join OPD. go to Douglas county's website, they list openings for jobs at the county jail. can probably do the same for sarpy county. look into the smaller police agencies in the area, they might hire younger than 21.





S S - dead end job? there are endless opportunities within the police dept. pay is not bad, and best of all you get to make a difference in people's lives -- even the ignorant ones who don't respect the sacrifices other people make for them

Don't you want to make something of your life?


Do you come from a dysfunctional family life and this is the way you gain control.


PLEASE ,PLEASE STOP and really look why you would want to pursue such a dead end JOB. Start reading about people that choose these types of JOBS AND THEIR LIVES !


But most of all their families lives.


I hope you are able to read between the lines!


YOU ARE TOO YOUNG TO UNDERSTAND, I AM SORRY FOR YOU !





PS


SPECS481's................ MUST BE A COP OR THINKS LIKE ONE.


I WOULD THINK THAT EVERYONE NEEDS TO EXPOSE THE TRUTH ABOUT THIS FIELD. WHEN PEOPLE ARE YOUNG THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO SEE THE TRUTH ABOUT MANY THINGS; NOT JUST ABOUT BEING A COP. IT IS A SHAME THAT PEOPLE FEEL SO THREATENED ABOUT THE F-A-C-T-S


DEAL WITH IT, IT IS NOT A SECRET !!!


OH, HAVE A NICE DAY
Reply:S S, you really need to shut the hell up. Nobody wants to hear your mindless ranting. The kid asked about getting a job, not for a bunch of reasons not to do it. If that's what he wants, let him do it and keep your damn mouth shut!
Reply:Check you county jail or the government website for your state.


Good luck!
