An easy way to be a cop is as the following:
You wear a poncho with a cowboy hat, put on your riding-boots with spurs on it, ride on a horse to the Police HQ in Elgin Street, in case you don't get my drift, in short, dress like that guy called Clint Eastwood, if you are too young to know who the hell this fella is, go rent a video and watch for yourself.
When your are there, dismount from your horse, and harness your stud to the pole next to the trough, don't forget light a handmade cigarette by striking a match stick to your boot.
To make it more Clint Eastwood, you have to roll the cigarette in your mouth from one corner to the other.
You then casually look at the wanted-post for Buffalo Bill, again you roll the cancer stick with a smile and tear down the $500-Reward-Wanted-Poster, with that poster in hand you stride into the Sheriff's small office which comprises of a wooden desk and a cloth tree, the sheriff is sitting on his swivelling chair with his legs on the desk, he is a burly guy and looks like John Wayne.
You: "Howd'y chief, I want the dough." Showing him the poster.
John Wayne: (Southern accent) "Where's 'im?"
You: "I could round 'im up with your help, give me the piece."
John Wayne:"Deal, you're my deputy, you take .38 or rifle?" While he is asking, he finds a shield and hands to you.
You take both the piece and the shield walk out a COP.
No course taking, no background checking, no written exam, no physical test.
It is that easy, isn't it?
Have a good future.
