If you just put in an application for the police then it will be reviewed and then a Senior Police Recruitment Team member will either accept it or deny it. If you do get accepted into the police then you have to go into Teamspeak and join a channel called - “Police Recruitment Office - Join Here!”. Then you will do your interview and FTC and if you pass them then you will become a CSO in the police force. There isn't exactly an expire date.
However if you are under the age of 16 you must go through the ''Young Recruitment Scheme''. In that you will have to go on patrols with SGT+'s and get feedback from them. The minimum amount of feedback you can have is 3 and you must have patrolled 8 hours as the minimum. After doing your hours and feedback's you must message a SI+ and tell them that you have finished your Young Recruitment program, and they will decide if you are fit for the police or not. P.S. You must not commit any crimes while a young recruit, if you do something bad accidentally then you must get your wanted level removed in-game from the police through roleplay.
How do join the Young Recruitment Scheme?
You must contact an SI+ in Teamspeak and tell them that you wish to be apart of the scheme. Then they will make a decision with the command if you get recruited into the scheme or not. If you get in then you will receive the ''Police Recruit'' tag on Teamspeak.
