Every law enforcement new-hire position requires at least an associate degree.

FBI agents must have at least a bachelor degree, preferably some kind of advanced degree:

Try not to feel too bad. FBI agents are the law-enforcement equivalent of the first string of the Dallas Cowboys or New York Yankees. It's the top of the profession.

Being an FBI agent is also about a lot more than shooting. They do computer research, forensic accounting, foreign surveillance, undercover work, all kinds of exotic activities.

There seem to be a few Texas police agencies willing to send you to the academy if you meet their basic qualifications.
