Dude, re read those qualifications. Military service and education are the only two that are gonna matter, and just by the numbers education is gonna out number military. And yes, we give LEOs an ungodly amount of power. Also, police academies are 760 hours give or take. Which is in the neighborhood of how much time you would spend in class for 2 years of college. So between the 60 credits prerequisite, and the 760 hours of instruction, you are looking at something close to a 4 year degree.
