Well, for MN you need to possess a 2 year LE degree to be POST certified, but my Police and Communities instructor has suggested that getting a 4 year degree is probably best. I've read around on here and found a couple of threads that state a 4 year degree is optimal, and I agree 100% with that.
My question is will I be able to explain (either on the application or interviews) that I am planning on continuing my 4 year degree while I am hired? I plan on trying to get hired as soon as possible, so I'm wondering if this will really hurt my chances if I try to get hired asap with a 2 year. I think I read on the Minneapolis Police website that a 2 year is only needed, and education will not be looked at? Not sure if it was stated exactly like that.
Thanks in advance guys.
