Question

Is it permissible to become a police officer or a correction officer of a jail in the U.S.A.?

Answer

It is not permissible to be a police/corrections officer. They operate under kuffaar law and are oppressors. In fact, it is not permissible to be a policeman even in a Muslim country of this time. All Muslim countries are governed by kuffaar entities and kuffaar law.
