I’m 32 and I was just laid-off so I am looking for a whole new career path. Is being in my 30s too late to start a career in law enforcement?

Absolutely not! I didn't start til I was 39!!

No it's not to late. Actually perfect age.

32 is not too old to begin a law enforcement career. If you are in good shape, you can easily move into a patrol position. There are other non-patrol positions in a police force as well. It would be easier to join a smaller municipal or county department. There are state requirements that must be met. These may include a police academy course, as well as firearm training, first aid training, possibly psychiatric evaluation, and of course a detailed background check to ensure there are no criminal offenses in your history.

I began mine at 41. You’re definitely good to go 👍

My brother began his at 52! And I am re-starting at 52 after 3 years out of the field. I have a total of 18 yrs law enforcement experience and after a hiatus decided to return to the career.

I started at 45!

No. You can go into law enforcement at any age. I was an accountant for many years before moving to law enforcement. Went through police academy at age 40 and there were several others older than me,

Exp. 13.5 Yrs
Industry Segment : Supply Chain Operations and Project Management
Graduation : B.E. Civil and MBA in International Business
What can be the expected CTC in India considering my exp. and academics?
If I wish to switch to other Segment, what is the way to switch to other high paying jobs?
