Not many agencies for Police/Sheriff require a degree. However some that do, just require a BA/BS, no specifics of the degree, but most now are requiring a minimum of 60 college credits to even apply. Now for most fed jobs, its a mandatory requirement to have a degree.But most for FBI, etc are going to be degrees that can be utilized as an agent, such as accounting, etc...

FBI is looking for CPA's, persons with JD's, and foreign language ability (odd languages ie: not spanish/french/german/ect.) The only problem with the fed's is this: if you have you CPA or JD, why would you want to work at a $30-40k/yr job when you can make $70-100k/yr?
