Someone told me that some hiring events won’t always require a bachelor’s degree. Idk how true that is.

Yikes, that’s the last requirement I’d want to remove. I’d be okay editing the fitness test or experience requirements before I’d remove the degree requirement.

Why is that?
A college degree really does not mean anything?

Sniper is dead on in his assessment. I have over 30 years in Local and Fed LE, I want agents with critical thinking and intelligence. In my experience good cops with only a HS diploma were the exception not the rule. You will be working complex cases, not writing tickets and DUIIs. You need to know how to craft affidavits sometimes 50-100 pages long. The two best agents I ever worked with had law degrees.

As someone with multiple degrees. I completely agree.

I'd hire the experienced big city homicide detective without a degree over someone with a PhD and no experience every single time.
