EMT-B courses for people under 18

The age requirement for an LEO is actually 20 1/2 years of age at time of application and 21 years of age at time of academy.

Here in Canada one can become an LEO at 18 or 19 depending on the province or territory. Quite a few do become LEO's at that age.
 
I have something that might be good news and bad news for you. You don't need to be an EMT-B to volunteer in an Emergency Dept, however you may need to be 18. I did this before I started my EMT course. Even if you cannot get into the ER, volunteering in a hospital will give you good experience in working with patients and their families. You can also take a good first aid/CPR course if you want to start learning about this. Good luck, I hope whatever you decide to do works out.
