"In most US police agencies, you have to be an experienced police officer before being allowed to apply to be a pilot."
Not so anymore....I thought it was about 50/50. I know of quite a few agencies that use professional pilots to fly, and officers in the other seat. I also know of at least one agency that hires professional pilots and THEN puts them through the academy.
