age to become a chicago police officer
Age Restrictions. The minimum age requirement has been lowered from 25 to 21. However, due to the time of hire caveat mentioned above, 18-year-olds can still apply, they just wonât be processed until they approach 21. Also, apologies to all those over the hill, but the Municipal Code of Chicago bars anyone 40 or older from being appointed as a probationary Police Officer.
