Curious to know opinions about the following options I have presented for me before I apply.
First, a small bit about me. I have been in LE for just about 9 years, first as a dispatcher and for the past 6 months working in a position where I do parking enforcement and patrol and traffic duties for parking lots at an airport.
So I have a few options to me. I want to apply to be a cop, but for those that have been hired and been through the application process, how important did you think a college degree would play in looking at an applicant. I have the chance to attend a local school and get a degree in police science and was thinking about going. I could apply without it, but I have a few credit blemishes that I would like to take care of or get in the process of taking care of so that I can apply without having any other issues to hold me back.
So what do you think? Having a college degree a plus or just a notch in the education belt?
