Can you be a police officer with an associate's degree?

Answer 1

Yes. In some departments a 2 year degree is a requirement or 2 year in the military. but if you want to advanced your career,the more education you have the more helpful it will be.

Answer 2

You must at the least hold a Bachelors Degree from a creditable college or university to be an Officer in the Military. To qualify to be an Officer in the Military you must have at the minimum a GT score of 110 or higher on the ASVAB, no Major law violations (ie. Possessions Charges, DUI) and depending on the Branch be under 29 years old (which is waiverable). An option to consider would be to enlist in to the Army Reserves and then apply for a ROTC scholarship, this scholarship and the Army reserves will pay for you degree and at the completion of your degree you will sign a commitment to either the Active Duty Army or Army Reserves for a period of 5 years as an Officer. You can view these options at www.goarmy.com, visit a local US Army recruiting stations or major college or university that offers ROTC and determine your eligibility.

Answer 3

Yes, but having a degree does not guarantee it. If you enlist into the military with a degree, you could be selected for OCS, but you could also be passed up for it.

No one joins as an officer except doctors and lawyers. Everyone else BECOMES an officer after qualifying on active duty (even ROTC and mil academy cadets).

Answer 4

You can become a police officer with an associates degree. You may also become an officer in the military provided that you attend officer candidate school.
