What is a good age to be a cop?

Most departments require their applicants to be at least 21 years of age. However, there are a handful of departments in my area that only require their applicants to be 18 and have a high school diploma. Id say a good age to start a police career is 23 or 24 years old.

Can you be a police officer at 25?

Theres no upper age limit for applying to the police service. Candidates who have reached the age of 18 years may apply to become a police officer and can take up appointment on reaching the age of 18½.
