    Ehhhh… That’s misleading.

    In many places to be eligible for the academy you’d have to have an associates or bachelors degree.

    But again, location dependant.

      But a degree in what because if it’s a degree in literature that’s useless. I suspect no cop has a degree in literature

        Usually called a criminal justice degree, includes basic law classes, administration, stuff like that. Offered in a lot of county colleges where it’s required.

        Not that it results in a better cop at all imo, just saying the timeframe of a max of 6 months throughout the US is really misleading.
