My roomate and best man is a cop. Seems that the factors that would have helped him obtain a job sooner were (a) being a minority and (b) having military service bonus points. The college degree was a necessity as well.

I recently read that Sinkspur has two sons that are police officers. He might have some for you.

Every cop or sheriff I know was a marine. May not be the right time to go into the armed forces, but it will give him the background and discipline he will need to be a cop.
