Our local PD required a BA to even apply to the department.

When I joined the SO, 30+ years ago, everyone had at least an AA/AS
In todays standards an AA/AS is like junior high. Don't get me wrong i am almost 50.

People i am referring to are SFPD and San Mateo SO respectively along with municipalities in San Mateo County. LOTS of behind the times and misinformed LEO IMHO.

My information came from the DA of our county. NOT a deputy DA but the DA himself.
