What degrees for becoming a police officer?
I want a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice degree and maybe even a Master of Criminal Justice degree.

Also, since I'm going to start as a cop and then move up to homicide detective or maybe even as an FBI (special) agent, what classes should I take? What colleges are good for my degree?
