If you want to become an undercover cop (also known as a narcotic officer) there's a series of exams that you must take, and pass. You see before you can apply to the narcotic division, you must have spent some time on the street as a patrolman. Some departments require at least two years of street experience before you can interview to become an undercover police officer. Larger departments are much more lenient as they only require one year of street experience.
Many people believe that you can go straight to the drug unit right after the academy or right after getting hired. That's simple not the case. There's so many different functions to learn in police work, and if you jump straight into the drug unit right after you graduate the academy. You'll miss out on the very training that can keep you alive. Plus the department wants to know if you are any good by monitoring your progress and work ethic while you're on patrol. After the first year or two, you can then apply to the drug unit.
Below I've compiled a list of things that you must complete before you can become an undercover cop. I should mention that the time you are required to spend on patrol varies from department to department, but on average it's around 2 years for a mid-size department, and around 1 year for larger size department.
- You must pass all departmental approved exams such as the polygraph and psychological test
- You must Pass both the written entrance exam and the oral board interview
- You must pass the police training academy
- You must pass the field training evaluation process
- You must complete 1-2 years on patrol without any negative write ups
Once you complete, and pass all of the departmental approved exams that I've listed above, you should be able to apply for the drug unit.
