<h2 class = 'uawtitle'>The Vital Scholastic Requirements To Be A Cop</h2><br />
<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>by Randy Jetterson</div><br /><br />
<div class='uawarticle'>Academic requirements for law enforcement can differ dependant on the agency conditions, several agencies necessitate applicants to be no less than 21 years of age having a high school diploma or GED. It's worth remembering that a lot of state and federal agencies mainly accept applicants that have a four year degree from an accredited university or college.<br />
<br />
<b>College education is costly, is it worth the expense?</b><br />
<br />
Certainly! Particularly when you do your best in school and get excellent grades since law enforcement institutions only want qualified individuals signing up for their agencies. A blend of physical and academic capabilities in addition to a clean criminal record will make an individual highly competent for the job.<br />
<br />
For anyone who is planning on signing up for one of the big police departments like the NYPD or perhaps the LAPD should look into obtaining a college education as there are often more alternatives for career advancement even though at present the L. A. Police Department doesn't warrant candidates to have a college diploma while the N. Y. Police Department calls for it's applicants to accumulate at least 60 college credits along with a 2.0 G.P.A..<br />
<br />
<b>Latest research - How higher education affects work habits in police officers</b><br />
<br />
What's better? To be book smart or street smart? Matthew Bostrom from the Saint Paul Police Department made a research regarding the advantages of a college degree in work traits of police officers. Social scientists believe that there exists a link between professionalism and a college education but solid proof of this is difficult to acquire.<br />
<br />
To obtain the results, disciplinary measures and commendations per officer having diversified academic backgrounds was gathered between September 1999 and September 2002.<br />
<br />
The end result? Results show that officers with an Associate of Applied Science have got the lowest number of disciplinary measures and the ones with degrees in Master of Arts obtained the highest volume of commendations. Officers with only a high school education received the 4th least number of disciplinary actions and 4th highest amount of commendations.<br />
<br />
<b>The degree discipline alone could be a factor</b><br />
<br />
Among the probable explanations why degree holders of Bachelor of Arts performed well with this research could be linked to the kind of work needed to attain that degree. Course work within a Bachelor of Arts degree demands individuals to build up their problem solving abilities, have an understanding of behavior patterns and basically it will demonstrate that there's a plethora of approaches to resolve issues. While college students of bachelor of science classes are taught to collect information and to have a best solution or response to an issue.<br />
<br />
To conclude, the research failed to deliver solid proof that a college diploma or the type of college degree gives cops a better work ethic and additional research is necessary for that.<br />
