I was wondering how a person could make themselves very competitive during the hiring process of the State police. Is a certain degree(AA,BA,MA) ? Is military experience necessary? and are there any other licenses or certifications that would make one competitive? Lastly does previous police experience help alot? I heard a rumor that it is hard to be competitive during the hiring process if your not ex-military. Well anyone who has any relavent information please fell free to let it flow. Thanks
