Interesting, because most police officers don't need to go to school for it to get the job, right?

It's usually not a minimum requirement, but a degree, usually in criminal justice, can be a significant competitive advantage in applications.

You don't strictly need to go to school to be a professional programmer, either, but people still go to school for it.
