[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1486478, member: 18945"] Grit: I'm fairly certain that most local PDs, county Sheriff Depts now require a high school diploma or at least a ged and IIRC, many prefer the applicant to have some college, if not at least a 2 yr degree of some kind. For Marine enlisted, the requirements are the same. Both law enforcement and military are now high tech operations. My nephew's son (high school graduate) just tested for Police Academy in Liberty County, and the aptitude test he described sounded a lot like the military written test that potential military enlistees have to take and score good on. (he did well on it) There may be a few older members already in either occupation without education but they aren't accepting dummies in either anymore, like they did when I enlisted in the 60s.
