Hi Michal,

To start in Law enforcement/Criminal Justice, you will need to have a degree. Most agencies require either a minimum number of college credit hours or a Bachelor's. More advanced positions in Law Enforcement also required more advanced degrees. I would recommend you start looking at colleges/universities that have criminal justice degree programs. Also call your local law enforcement agency and see if they have a citizen's academy or any intern programs that you could join to see if you have an interest in it.
