A criminal justice degree, or any other degree for that matter, does not guarantee you a career in law enforcement.

Just make sure that your school is regionally accredited. There's a whole sticky thread on that subject in this section.

Only if you APPLY to a department in CA would you get hired by them. ;) Where you got your degree is immaterial, so long as it's accredited.
