What are the residency rules for joining a police force in the United States?

Candidates hoping to become federal or state police officers are required by law to be legal residents of the United States. City police must live within the boundaries of the city they are working in, and county police must live within the county they have jurisdiction over. Different rules may apply for city and county officers.
