Each individual school "should" post a listing of the jobs you can get after you receive your degree.  The following is a listing of information from the school I got my undergrad at (http://www.wiu.edu):\n\nThere are numerous types of employers for criminal justice majors including federal, state, and local government as well as private employers. Employment opportunities are excellent in areas with growing populations. A bachelor's degree is often required for most state and federal positions and is becoming increasingly required for municipal and county positions.\n\nLaw Enforcement\n\nThe law enforcement and justice administration program prepares individuals for careers within law enforcement agencies. The program provides professional knowledge, understanding, and skills for line police officers and investigators, as well as preparation for staff and administrative positions in local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies.\n\nAmong those agencies employing LEJA graduates are:\n\n    * Municipal police departments\n    * County sheriffs' offices\n    * Regional law enforcement units\n    * State police agencies\n    * State regulatory agencies (i.e., conservation, agriculture, motor vehicle, university police)\n    * Federal law enforcement agencies (i.e., Federal Bureau of Investigation, Internal Revenue Service, Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, Customs, drug enforcement agencies)\n    * Federal regulatory agencies (i.e., health and human services; agriculture; immigration; U.S. Park Service)\n\nCourts\n\nServices needed today include presentence investigation, communication with potential jurors, maintaining official records, certifying records of court orders, and establishing court calendars.\n\nCareer options include:\n\n    * Court administrator\n    * Court investigator\n    * Court personnel\n    * Probation officer\n\nCorrections/Probation\n\nOpportunities within these areas include detention, rehabilitation programming, parole, and community-based programs such as halfway houses, drug treatment centers, and alcohol detoxification centers.\n\nCareer options include:\n\n    * Parole officer\n    * Personnel in local detention facilities (juvenile and adult)\n    * Correctional officer\n    * Alternatives to detention programs\n\nPlanning and Research\n\nThis area of employment is involved with tasks such as analyzing needs, evaluating programs, writing grants, preparing and analyzing statistical data for public information, building databases, and doing crime-specific planning.\n\nCareer opportunities include:\n\n    * Criminal justice planner/researcher (state and regional)\n    * Consultant to municipal, county, or state governmental agencies.\n\nSecurity Administration\n\nSecurity careers are as abundant and diverse as those in law enforcement and there are opportunities for management trainee positions.

That can vary immensely from one police department to another.  But here is the basic 411.  Some positions require you have a 4 year degree in science while others only require a GED or High School graduation. Generally, if you want to work in a crime laboratory as a Criminalist you will need at least a 4 year degree in science (such as Biology or Chemistry). If you want to be a Crime Scene Technician you usually need less formal education. Some agencies require you be a sworn police officer before becoming a Crime Scene Investigator.\n\nIf the position you want requires formal training then check your local colleges and universities.   Many community colleges have Criminal Justice classes that include crime scene investigations. \n\n\nBelow is a book, kind of pricey but a good source.  See if you can find a used copy someplace, or maybe your local library may have it.  But it's an excellent book on crime scene evidence and investigations.

I think you just have to have a Bachelor's Degree(4-year) from college, and it can be from any subject, but I would recommend criminal justice. There will be  extensive background checks and psychological testing, and some sort of physical fitness requirements.

I stated off as a Education Major but changed in the middle and all the classes that I took transferred over to criminal Justice.  You could also try ride along with your local law enforcement that might give you a better insight.  Some cities also offer a program where you are junior reroute and get to learn all about it.

That's really unreasonable of you to expect Yahoo! Answers to be the source of this information for you.\n\nHowever, I'll suggest where you might try.  First, YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY.  Second, search John Jay College online, as criminal justice is its bread and butter.
