If I want to become a cop, what cles should I take in college?

If you want to be a detective then do NOT major in CJ or anything. Whether you want to be a patrol officer or detective, does not matter. Do not major in criminal justice ever. Schools will say that you should, but in all reality everything you learn in those cles will be taught to you at the police academy and you will have wasted money on a degree that doesn't do you any good. If you want to be a detective or a narcotics officer or get promoted at all you especially want to study something else. Psychology is an excellent major for the first two, and any sort of business or finance major will be excellent for detective or promotions within a department. Another problem with CJ cles is what happens if you get injured on the job and can no longer be a police officer? You now have no degree to fall back on that does you any good in the civilian world.
