[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 7844604, member: 58172"] I think ‘rookies’ is an adequate word for level 5. The average age of a starting police officer is about 20-25. They are allowed to apply as young as 18. But many feel 21 is still too young. 23-24 is considered a good age to begin police work. In other words. All police officers have graduated high school, and are at least functioning at college level. High school graduate: 18 years old: level 1 Associate degree: 20 years old: level 3 College degree, Bachelors: 22 years old: level 5 So, police departments tend to prefer college graduates, or the equivalent. But, because of individual talent or unusual early experience, police departments sometimes hire someone while they are still in college. The college graduates are preferred as a ‘professional’ police officer: a ‘rookie’. [/QUOTE]
