Answer 1

Unless you have plans on being a Cheif or Sheriff, why bother.

Answer 2

Just so you know, there is no Masters degree for criminal justice. A criminal justice degree is tipicaly a 2 year degree. many officers do get a B.A. or a masters in other fields that do help in the field of law enforcement. As far as pay goes cops will make anywhere from 24000 to 54000 starting. This is just depending on the department you work for.

Answer 3

To get it, it would take about 6 to 8 years on paper.  However in reality it takes 8 to 10 for most.
