Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In order to become a police psychologist, the most common path is to earn a doctoral degree in psychology and gain ample exposure to police culture. This may involve completing internships or working with law enforcement agencies. Simply transferring to a university accredited in police psychology or earning an undergraduate degree and joining the police academy may not provide the necessary training and education to become a police psychologist. Similarly, joint-degree training may not provide the specific focus on psychology and law enforcement needed for this career path.
