Based on what I have seen, the Public Affairs/Relations offices in LE are run by members of service, and it’s not an entry-level assignment.

Research the hiring criteria for many departments/agencies. It’s different for each department and type of policing. For example, federal agencies may prefer Computer Science/Electrical Engineering or Accounting backgrounds. Local agencies may require a certain level of education but have a long (waiting) hiring process.

One of the best preparations for a career in law enforcement is military experience as a commissioned officer. You should take that into consideration.
