I'm Trying to Become an Officer?

Question

h**l there.

I'm currently in High School going to be a Senior once I go back into school after summer. I'm wondering though, to become an officer, police officer and later move on the ranks, what major should I pick? Criminal Justice or Crimonology? I'm not really sure. I'd appreciate much help. Also, if you know what schools, that'll be awesome! Thanks so much!

Answer 1

most law enforcement agencies don't care what you major in as long as you have a degree call your local agencies and ask them i am sure there is one that you want to work for if it does not matter then get a degree in some thing else its always good to have some thing to fall back on

Answer 2

Criminalogy is better,b/c you can learn the criminal justice system on the job. With criminalogy you can work in crime scene investgation which is crucial now in prosecutions. Now if you can take a criminal justice course in your senior year it will certainly help you. But what you should really do is , join a poplice explorer program in your area !

Answer 3

criminal justice is easier but if i were you i would pick criminolgy
