You need to be a US citizen at time of being appointed to the NYPD. It's quite difficult to get to the stage of being accepted. There are a lot of tests and a lot wash out. You would also need to be under 35 by time of acceptance. So 5 years to become a citizen and maybe at least a year to try get legal permanent residence status if you won next years diversity lottery. So you'd be looking at a minimum of 6 years before you could become one. You'd wanna get cracking before being 29. Or see if you can join the US military. They usually fast track citizenship or legal status.

I always wanted to work with the FBI as a kid. I'm already a US citizen and i'm in the process of trying to get a job with them. Initially as an intelligence analyst and then try make the transition to field officer.

I wanted to be a lion

The earliest job I can remember wanting as a kid was a bus driver with CIE. This was back when it was all one transport company.

The next jobs I wanted as I got progressively older were :
any job in Cadburys
Aer Lingus pilot
Playboy photographer.

Last two were when I was a teenager.

Sadly, I never realised my dreams with any of the above.
