1) ENGLISH skills- spelling, grammar, vocabulary, etc. As a LE pro, you will be judged primarily on your WRITING skills.
2) Physical fitness is also critical. Upper body strength, endurance, agility.
3) While in school, work on learning a SECOND LANGUAGE. Spanish, French, Russian, Chinese - it doesn't matter. Becoming bi-lingual means extra PAY in many agencies because of that additional skill.
4) Armed Services - enlist. Active Duty, Reserve or National Guard. Veterans earn extra pay, and lifetime benefits. In college, take ROTC earn a Commission.
5) College- do NOT do Criminal Justice. Major in English, Computer Science, Accounting... Whatever agency hires you in the future will teach you more in their Police Academy.
