Answer:

To become a police officer in the state of Pennsylvania, a candidate must successfully pass the Act 120 certification course as well as the Pennsylvania Municipal Police Officers' Education and Training Commission (MPOETC) state certified exam. There are 24 training centers and schools throughout the state of Pennsylvania that offer Act 120 certification training. However, there are certain requirements that must be satisfied before an interested candidate can apply for the program. A police officer candidate must be at least 18 years old, a high school graduate or GED, not convicted of any offenses that were punishable by more than one year in prison (which includes all felonies, first-degree misdemeanors, and second-degree misdemeanors), pass a physical fitness test, and possess a legal driver's license. To apply for Act 120 certification training, you can visit the Pennsylvania Municipal Police Officers' Education and Training Commission's website and search through the list of certified training centers and schools to find the right institution to meet your needs. Some training centers even offer part time programs to accommodate work schedules.
