Answer:
Any college with a criminal justice program--and there are many--can provide you with an education that will prepare you to become a law enforcement officer. However, almost any college degree is useful in law enforcement, as the process of getting the degree will teach you how to write effectively and accurately, how to research questions, and how to think critically, "synthesizing" conclusions from many sources of data. The ability to speak a foreign language, especially one spoken in the law enforcement agency's area of operations, is an especially prized skill. Any program, internship, or other activity that requires you to talk to and interview people who are strangers to you will teach you how to communicate verbally and get information from people, which is a critical skill for police officers.

Be wary of any program that promises you a job in law enforcement upon completion, especially if the costs of the program are high. No degree or course of education guarantees you a job in law enforcement. You can fail to get hired because of a lack of education or other preparation, but it's far more common to be disqualified because of a criminal record (juvenile offenses count, like any others), a poor driving record, bad credit (people who can't control money well are more inclined to accept bribes or otherwise engage in misconduct), drug use, or poor physical fitness. If you have one of these disqualifiers, it won't matter how much education you have for the purpose of becoming a police officer.
