I'm still in high school but I was wondering what kind of degree i should be aiming for if i wanted to be an officer. I was thinking criminal justice, criminology, psychology, penology, or community policing. There's so many :confused: i have no idea what to aim for O__O

What YOUR intersested in. Most of the time a four year degree and of course good grades will get ya on your way. Again this is just my. 2 cents! :P :D

It doesn't matter what the degree is in as long as you get good grades and stay out of trouble.
If you like CJ go for it, if you like computer science go for that, if you like pottery then do that.
Your best bet is to get a four year degree to be competitive.

What would be most USEFUL? Most USEFUL would be a job that has you interacting with people. BUT, most dept's now require a degree, and sadly college is pretty much high school with beer. So what are you gonna do?
Go to college and get a degree in WHATEVER YOU ARE INETRESTED IN, that way you get GOOD GRADES and COMPLETE THE DEGREE.
No problem... this has been covered HUNDREDS of time. If, after searching, you still find questions or need something clarified, feel free. We're glad to have you here and we accept that there can be a bit of a learning curve.
