I earned my first degree in law enforcement. I have friends who got CJ degrees. A thought: get a degree in unrelated focus. If you want to be a LEO you'll learn everything you need in the academy and field training. Honestly, knowing what I know now, if I could do it over, I would have done my first degree in psychology, or maybe business admin. A different educational path may give you a unique perspective in your career and if you ever wanted to do something outside of LE (or a side hustle) you will have the education plus training to fall back on. Just my two cents
