Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.

You can spend a lot of money at a "top rate" university, but it won't help you become a police officer any more than going to a regular state university. It will help you get deeper in debt, though.
If your desire is to go to a college, please do so. If your desire is to be a police officer, consider entering military service, getting some life experience and a skill. Read through my prior answers on this above.
Best of luck.
