Hey guys, I'm 41 years old and believe it or not, I'm looking to become a police officer. I found plenty of departments in the area where I'm moving (Lynchburg, VA) that will accept without an associates but I'd rather go in with something more than just a GED. I'd also like to eventually get a BA and possibly masters at some point in the future.
I would also consider a BA since I already have 29.5 credits but I'd like to finish in 12 to 18 months. I have the time to put into it.
