Go to college. Believe it or not, a lot of police officers do have degrees in things such as criminal justice. They aren't high school kids that decide to become police. In fact, you need to be 21 before they'll even consider you. You'll also want to be fit. The police have a very [i]interesting[/i] physical fitness test. It actually involves simulations that have to be completed in a certain time period too. After this point you're going to want to look up your local police academy. That's when you really 'start.' I think it's like half a year of training. At that point there are a bunch of tests both physical and mental. Assuming you pass, you just need to apply at a police station and get accepted!

College is a plus not a major requirement. Law enforcement want to see more common sense and life experience than anything else. They want honor, integrity, and most importantly being able to make decisions. Not being able to make a decision is one of the biggest hurdles a recruit has to overcome if he/she is to be successful in the career. The second tiny problem is report writing. A lot of recruits fail out because they can't write. A lot of people struggle with writing about what they saw and did down on paper. All it really is, is just telling a story in chronological order of the events that took place without going overboard in descriptions. Basically writing it so the most stupid person can get an understanding of what happened.
