What are some Law enforcement agencies in the US that don't require citizenship?
Q. I am a green card holder, eligible for Citizenship in a year. Most US law enforcement agencies require citizenship. Which are some local or state agencies that take green cards? Sorry, I forgot to add the obvious: This is for recruitment of law enforcement officers.

A. You either have to be a citizen or have applied for citizenship to get hired as a police officer. There is no way around it.

A. Here is the deal... You have to get hired by a police department and go to the academy. From there you go to the street and work in the Field Training Program with a training officer for months. After that you spend years on the street humping calls and if you are good enough, you may get promoted to Detective in like VICE or Property Crimes. Do that for years, and if you are good at that job you can get the nod to go to Robbery, Sex Crimes or the top of the line... Homicide. Along the way, you can study and take tons of career development courses and maybe get promoted to a supervisor roll, where I am now.

A. The best thing for you would probably be to seek employment part-time or full-time (if it doesn't interfere with your studies) at a local department, grocery, etc. in Loss Prevention. Loss Prevention is the department that oversees the security actions for a facility. This way you'll get some good experience that will look good on your building resume for when you get ready to apply to a law enforcement agency. Search around your town and inquire about this position. You can also look at the employment opportunities with your local juvenile/adult detention centers for available part-time positions.
