Although Plano, TX requires more qualifications than most police departments, you can be hired with a Bachelor's Degree - OR - Three (3) years of active military service with sixty (60) college hours - OR - Two (2) years of police officer experience (Patrol) with (60) college hours. As far as I know, psych evals are required by every agency. And every department that I have worked for, all 3 of them, required 1 year training under a Field Training Officer (FTO). After my 5th year I also became an FTO.
