What are the steps I need to take to become a police officer in Las Vegas NV?

i suggest go to the academy. and graduate from that so that when you apply they can see a very intersted person that wants to pursue the law enforment agency. also have a clean record and have in mind that your gonna start from the bottom not from the top. for example corrections officer, loss prevention, security things like that will benefit you in the future when you apply also if you have college credits. that also helps alot but remember not just anyone can become a PO there steps to get to the top and its not like in the movies or t.v. mostly is writting reports and going to silly police reports. if you feel you have the talent and ready for a big challenge. go for it! the key to succed is to NOT GIVE UP! hope this helps. have a good one
