If you get a degree in Criminal Justice do you still have to attend the academy?
Posted by admin
What is the real reason for having a degree in Criminal Justice if you still have to go through the academy?
Have you ever heard of a way for someone to become a police officer without going through the academy?
I’m asking because I am sick of those commercials pushing people to get a degree in criminal justice. Why spend 4 years in college getting the degree when you could become a cop right now and let them pay for your school if you decide to get a degree later?

The police academy is seperate from whatever college degree you’ve earned. I’ve never heard of a department that doesn’t send it’s new recruits to the police academy.

The academy just to learn criminal justice you have physical training using firearms etc you cant go into police work without any of that would.

Not to my knowledge. Having a Criminal Justice Degree helps later on if you take a promotional test. The academy introduces you to life as a police officer. You will get more hands on training there.

The academy even if you may be post approved academy again but the majority of states but the majority of states reconise post certification form one state to graduate post certified in few colleges have thier own academies also some police departments you pass thier schooling in thier own academies also very few states reconise post certification form one state to graduate post certified in thier.
For most or more appliations to any person has to ever get hired.

The CJ degree and the academy are two seperate things.
The degree teaches you theory, process, and improves your communication skills. It also improves your ability to advance within many departments. However, a degree has absolutely no bearing on your ability to be an effective officer.
In the academy you learn how to apply laws, and the functions and skills that you will be required to do as an officer. Much of it is hands-on training that you did not do in your degree work. Many people can pass the degree requirements but have no aptitude as a real officer.
Good luck!

Goodness girl - you don’t just need to know the law to be a police officer. There’s far more to it than that - and that’s what they teach you in the academy.
