You should focus on Math and English. However, police officers need a well-rounded education. Whatever subjects that you take, be sure to get the best grades that you can. There are many things that you can begin thinking about or doing now to increase your chances of becoming a police officer when you are old enough.

You have to take pe, english, maths, science, maybe a language or two, modern studies and some others that you are interested in. Basically, if you get 5 GCSE's between A*-C, then you will probably be guaranteed a chance :D

Basic maths, english, modern studies, stay fit and best to have something to fall back on if you don't get in. They look for things like that.

I'm 13 to and I want to be a police officer/women and all you need is select the subjects you want and get good grades and then go to police cadets when your 16 where they will expand your knowledge and understanding about the police but don't worry the work at police cadets is fun and easy I have been told you also get paid a lot just for going to police cadets for two years then you can join the police force and get even more of a chance cause you would have gone to police cadets...p.s if you do go maybe ill see you there as I'm going to go hopefully.

I'm 13 to and i want to become a police officer, subjects that you would need would be pe to keep fit,english,a little science,language and maths, with maths you would need it most iif you where to become a computing police where you track down and figure out lots off brainy stuff,, with a crime sceen investigator or detective you would need a strong stomach if you where ever to go to a murder sceen,, for mounted police officer or the dog squad you would need to be comfortable around the animal

I'm thirteen and just chosen my subjects I want to be a lawyer but my fall back is police officer, I have chosen modern studies, history, pe, drama and chemistry modern studies and history are good for law and pe is good for police officer, the others are ones I like, but I think that you should take modern studies history pe and two subjects you like, just as long as you get 5 GCSE's between A's and C's, also you could go to college and get a law degree this helps to be a police officer, hope this helps

I'm 13, hoping to become a police women  and picking my subjects this year aswell, also I have noticed  its a lot of 13 year olds that are asking these questions , you don't actually need to take PE, I mean you could be on the heavier side of weight or a total twig, an it doesn't matter, aslong as you can run atleast a mile then you are ok, but apart from that, I am  picking modern studies,maths, english, science, and some others just for extra qaulifications, but incase you don't become a police officer you should choose your other subjects wisely

In most cities, you need at least a high school diploma or a GED. If you would like to increase your chances of getting hired, strive for at least an associates degree, preferably a bachelors. Criminal justice, public administration, and business are good degrees to pursue. Best of luck.
