Ask a Police Officer anything

Last Answer on October 29, 2014

I have wanted to become a police officer since I was a child, however I also want to go to university, so I wanted to get a degree that would help. What degree would you recommend?

Asked by Jimmy over 11 years ago

Contact the department you wish to work for and see if they require a degree. I would recommend the least expensive degree possible, as they will largely be useless in law enforcement. You can read through my prior answers for additional information on college degrees and law enforcement.

If there is a specialty unit such as intelligence in a PD, will there only be one team (as opposed to shifts) so they can be sure everyone is always on the same page?

Asked by 678 almost 12 years ago

At very large departments, there may be multiple shifts or squads of officers in a specialty unit. At small to medium agencies, there is typically only one squad, and they might work varying hours/days of the week as the job requires.

Asked by DS over 11 years ago

I don't know. You should ask the officers on scene.
