You also can find all the information you need to become a police officer in Wisconsin on the career page on the website of the Wisconsin Department of Justice Here.

Requirements & Qualifications

Wisconsin’s educational standards for law enforcement officers are stringent. In addition to requiring a high school diploma or GED equivalent, the state mandates that all police officers have a two year associate degree or a minimum of 60 fully accredited college level credits. The minimum age to become an officer in the state is 18, and U.S. citizenship and a valid Wisconsin driver’s license also is a minimum requirement.

Disqualifying Factors

Persons who have been convicted of any felony offense may not be hired as a police officer in Wisconsin. Conviction of any misdemeanor crime of domestic violence also is a disqualifying factor. That’s because, under federal law, individuals convicted of domestic violence crimes are prohibited from carrying firearms.

The Background Investigation Process

Applicants must undergo fingerprinting, with a search of local, state and national fingerprint records, a background investigation and other investigations that the hiring agency may deem necessary to ascertain loyalty to the United States or detect any conditions that would adversely affect performance as a law enforcement officer.

Medical Evaluation Process

All applicants must be free from any physical, emotional or mental condition which might adversely affect performance of duties as a law enforcement officer and they must undergo a physical exam to verify that they can meet physical standards required of the position. Drug testing also will be administered to all applicants for a variety of controlled substance.

Police Training Academy Standards

All candidates seeking certification must undergo basic police training. In Wisconsin this can be done prior to being hired by an agency, at your own cost, or it can be done after you are hired at the cost of the hiring agency. If you undergo the training before being hired by an agency, you have three years from the completion of the training to obtain a job. After that further training will be required.

The training curriculum, established by the Wisconsin Law Enforcement Standards Board (LESB) consists of 520 hours over 13 weeks for full-time students. Training can also be done part-time in a series of seven units taught over 12 to 18 months.  You can find the curriculum Here.

The training is offered as a number of technical colleges certified by LESB. You can find a list of these schools here.

Average Salary For Cops in WI

1) Trustworthiness –

can the applicant be relied upon to do what they say they will do? Will they fabricate stories to cover their errors or inadequacies? Will they be where they are told to be and do what they are told to do, even in difficult circumstances?

By Captain Ron Orso 

 This article is for anyone who wants to be a cop,  is in an academy or FTO Program, or who already is a cop.  It’s based upon 25 years of mistakes, missteps,  and just plain dumb luck.

 A truly great street cop who once worked for me for 7 years, Joe G., (and who is responsible for every gray hair on my head),  once pointed out to me (actually it was about once an hour),  my alleged shortcomings as far as police work was concerned. He often said that I couldn’t find a collar on a shirt.

It was due to him that I began to  review certain important rules of policing.  These weren’t tactical rules so much as they were rules of dealing with people, both those who worked with me as well as those I would deal with as “clients” on the job.  The following are my 4 rules.  I hope that they may help you avoid a number of screw ups that I brought upon myself.

#1.  FAMILY COMES 1st.   You must remember that you can still give 150% to the job, can be a robo-cop and lock up every crook in the world,  but if things aren’t peaceful on the home front,  you’ll never be able to give your all, or even your best to yourself and your agency.

The job, while it can be a fantastic life, and you may be able to do great good, is ultimately still a tool.  It’s a means to an ends.

It’s a way of providing for you and yours.  The reason why so many cops are on their 3rd and 4th marriages as well as drinking themselves into suspensions and ruined careers stems from not following this rule.

Now the very nature of the job means you’re going to miss dinners, birthdays, etc.  That’s not my point,  all I mean that your priorities are in order as far as God & family are concerned.

 #2.  NEVER LIE OR PERJURE YOURSELF.   Now there is a difference between telling a lie (a non-truth) to a mutt to get information, and all other situations.

Telling lies to the bad guys is a time honored cop trait, so I’m not speaking about that situation; although it can be argued that even that is wrong. I’m describing telling lies in all other situations, to your husband, wife, child, parent and especially ANYTHING that has to do with your official duties.

Aside from it being morally wrong,  a cop is only as good as their word.  Screw up once, and even if you don’t get fired and lose your pension (or worse),  your career is sunk because you’ll be useless as a witness, either on paper or in court. You may as well hang up your badge & gun and start selling pickles at flea markets.  This goes not only orally, as in interviews, reports to higher ups, and in court, but especially in every and all documents you sign your name to submit.

#3.  NEVER MISS THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO A GOOD DEED.   Yes, I know that a lot of us went into, or are going into the job because we want to help people and / or make a difference.  For those of you who follow the Judeo-Christian faiths, the “do unto others” or the “golden rule”, or “”What is hateful to yourself do not do to your fellow man “ applies.

For those of you who follow a strictly scientific bend it’s “for every action there is an equal & opposite reaction.”  Any followers of Eastern religions can call it positive Karma.  Whatever, it’s the chance to make someone’s life a tad better, and it is the basis of police work, so be aware of every opportunity to apply it in ever call you take.  MAKE A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE.

 #4.  NEVER STOP LEARNING.  Just like a shark that dies if it ever stops swimming (even in its sleep), any cop who stops learning will die, and usually in a very unpleasant manner.

No matter how smart you think you are, or how much experience you have on the job, there will always be a bad guy (or girl), out there who knows more,  and when you meet up with them, you’re going down unless you’re very lucky.  To paraphrase General Patton, it’s not you job to die, it’s your job to make the bad guy die if it’s the only choice.

 Joe G. used to think that I was very intelligent, but not so smart.  I hate to admit it, but until I started applying these 4 rules, he was more correct than I’d like to admit.

 God bless & stay safe.

Ron Orso is a retired Police Captain from the Borough of Fort Lee, NJ Police.  He holds a B.A. In History, and a Masters in Public Administration.  He was a police officer for 25 years, is married with 2 sons, and has 22 years experience in Emergency Management.  He’s also a Disabled Veteran.

WA Police Academy Curriculum

How Much Money Does State Police Officers Really Make?

Basically, if you look at each state, the salary may change slightly, but that change won’t affect the overall average pay for a state trooper. The bottom line for finding out what the salary is for a state trooper is to contact your local state police and ask. They will tell you or refer you to someone who knows.

State Trooper Pay Chart & Pay Scale

State troopers have a lot of responsibility. At first the pay may not be fair or compensate for what the state trooper does. States are aware of it, but they only have so much in their budget to pay for state troopers. Once the federal government unloads more funds to each state, the state trooper’s salary can also go up.
