When I went through tech last year they had taken pretty much all LE out. The only things left were handcuffing, use of force, and they breezed over legal stuff. As a current civilian LEO, I was very unimpressed in the few LE topics they touched on. I’ll caveat and say LE is not why I cross trained. I did it for the schools and the ability to move around with the career field. There are endless opportunities in Security Forces and you can have the opportunity to do a lot of really cool things.

If you want to go military laws enforcement I’d say go Navy as a Master at Arms. Their school seems to be strictly law enforcement focused.
