First off, welcome to DBB.
Second, good luck in becoming a police officer.
Third, I'm here to help!
I know how you feel. I was 5'8" 130lbs when I started training, and it sucks.
What you first need to do is bulk, bulking is simply adding muscle mass through a calorie surplus diet. It's the most important thing. Adding muscle mass, from your stat's and description is what you need to do. So I'll help with that...
List a diet plan that you feel can suit your needs, what foods you can have daily access to and how often exactly you can eat. Gaining hypertrophy (which is muscular size) is done completely by a mass building diet...
After you do this, I'll help you get situated with a good routine to help you achieve muscle mass.
Some facts 1) Muscle doesn't grow in the gym
2) Protein repairs muscle tissue
3) Your body is 75% water
4) Your muscles are 70% water
5) This means water is important
6) Muscle only grows when it rests
7) You need calories to grow
Your routine will need...
1) A horizonal push = Bench Press
2) A horizonal pull = Barbell Row
3) A vertical push = standing overhead press
4) A vertical pull = pullup
5) A quad dominant exercise = Squat
6) A hamstring / prosterior chain dominant exercise = Deadlift
Update me with your diet plan, and I'll assist as necessary. :-)
