Education Information for Police Officers. Specific education guidelines for police are set by individual agencies following state or federal laws. City, county and state police officers are often only required to have a high school diploma or pass all General Educational Development (GED) examinations. Departments prefer applicants with some college experience, while law enforcement professionals employed by the federal government often have bachelor's degrees.
Police officers working for local, state and federal agencies protect lives and property. While you do not necessarily need a college degree to become a police officer, having one can open more doors for advancement and initial placement within a police department. Even without a college degree, applicants with college training or credit hours in police science may have the most opportunities.
