What level of education would you require of incoming personnel?

In this week, you are evaluating the role that education plays in law enforcement. Let’s expand this a bit further. You obviously believe that education is important since you are in a graduate program. For this opinion paper, you are to write about your own personal experiences in terms of education and how your professional life has changed because of your education. We already know that the federal level and many state agencies require a college degree. So, consider that you are an incoming police chief/sheriff, how would you address the issue of education? What level of education would you require of incoming personnel? Would you provide pay incentives or reimbursements for college courses? Would you require advanced degrees for upper administrative positions? If so, why and which positions? In a final analysis, what would your agency look like in terms of education levels for your personnel? Explain and articulate your assessments and answers in a minimum 500 word summary, which includes at least one academically credible source beyond the textbook, properly cited and in APA format on a reference page.
