      it stands to reason, yes, that their chances of going higher are better with a college degree. Most chiefs of police depts have a college degree in criminal justice, or something similar

        It may depend on which part of the country


        you are applying. I just read at one site in 


        Arlington Texas, where they expect four years


        of college.


        Here's a tongue-in-cheek piece on how not


        to get hired.
