FWIW, the NYPD requires at least two years of college before hiring, and I think most veteran officers have a four-year degree. That’s more or less why CUNY-John Jay exists. I think many other big city forces have similar hiring requirements.

There’s also the FBI, where most jobs require four-year degrees, but they typically like to hire lots of CS/data analytics folks and accountants.

BTW, if you’d like a pinprick to your prestige bubble, I know several recent law school grads who have wound up at the police academy – and been grateful for the job.
