    I am thinking that you should read the TOS and go for an introduction... the, you may try the search function, as the choice of degrees for LE has been discussed many, MANY times.

    Also, to add to what Switchback said, be sure to review information already available, like this thread:

    Should one major in Criminal Justice to be a LEO?

    Basically, "police science" and "criminal justice" are basically two names for the same thing, so 6 of one, half dozen of another.
