In some instances you do not even need to go to college. You can try to apply to the agency where you wish to work, and sometimes they will even put you through an academy at their cost.

(in the US) Every state has its own requirements so there is no way to specifically answer this question. As a general response - you can expect to spend anywhere from 3 to 6 months (or more) depending on the requirements of the state - followed usually by a 6 month to one year probationary period during which your training continues and your performance of duty is monitored and evaluated..
