Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.
I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.
Do not report crimes here. Nothing here should be considered legal advice. All opinions are my own.
Contact an attorney. Oh, and never use the "my leg had a cramp" line again.

You can spend a lot of money at a "top rate" university, but it won't help you become a police officer any more than going to a regular state university. It will help you get deeper in debt, though.
If your desire is to go to a college, please do so. If your desire is to be a police officer, consider entering military service, getting some life experience and a skill. Read through my prior answers on this above.
Best of luck.

Share Answer: 
Most 18 year olds are considered an adult. You can still be reported as a missing person.
If you want to avoid problems, you should act like an adult and tell your parents that you are fine, but you have moved out.
If you fall into a variety of special categories (such as under court order), you might not be able to move out. Chances are you would know if one of those applied to you.
If you have additional questions, you should contact an attorney or the local law enforcement agency.

Requirements vary from state to state and department to department. Generally, you would need a GED or high school diploma, good driving record, and a clean criminal history. Most departments will also require a physical fitness test, a polygraph, drug testing, a stable employment history, excellent references, a psychological evaluation, some form of IQ or mental abilities test, and a credit check. Many departments also require an applicant to have two years of college (or more) or military service with an honorable discharge. The minimum age for employment varies, but is normally 18 or 21 years old.
