I am 27 and just finished my law degree. Unlike most, I went to law school with the intent of becoming a police officer after graduation (and eventually to the feds). I recently applied to a local police department. I passed the physical, written test (scored a 96 on the POST), polygraph and background in two weeks. Currently, I am on the waiting list.
I understand that some police officers get their law degree after joining the force. In my case, I am doing the opposite. How will having a law degree help me (or hurt me)? I am currently in the process of applying at several other departments. Thanks.
