Criminology, completely useless?

To the OP:

I forgot to mention that some local PD’s hire crime analysts. It’s not really the kind of job you were wanting, but it’s a start.

Typically they just pull information from databases and map out high crime rate areas and provide the information to the departments brass.

You can get one of thos positions without LE/military. Many postings will say, “Previously experience as a military analyst or working in a police department crime analysis unit preferred”, but it all depends.

I will say those with previous experience are more competitive, but that goes without saying.

Again, you will most likely need to be a US resident, if not a resident of the state and/or city. So I’d just focus on Canada.

I’ve heard of a few people with a BA/MS and a few years of work experience getting these types of jobs. However, they aren’t the same jobs you desire.
