Is a degree necessary? Maybe not. But if you’re going to require 2-4 years of formal training, it may as well result in a degree. Fact is policing in the 21st century is 1/3 social worker, 1/3 law enforcement, and 1/3 procedural red-tape (give or take). It takes a lot of training to do all three effectively. And we, as a nation, don’t require a whole heck of a lot of training.
