I myself am going to be a Pennsylvania state trooper. i feel that college is not needed for the police academy.. i have take Criminal Justice classes and everything- and the information given is not 100% needed, its just about the system as a whole and the starting/ amendments of the system. its nice to have 2 years of college though, just to see the other majors oppertunities to decide if the career is right for you. my advice-- go to college for 60 credits (AKA 2 years) see if you like it.. but majoring in Criminal Justice is not needed-- I talked to some policemen and they all told me to go to college for my back-up plan... or major in physchology or sociology... but a 4yr degree isn't needed for police officers... you learn everything at the academy for the job.
