Just FYI, Lawrence doesn't want you to have attended an academy before. It won't hurt you, but they prefer, almost require, that you have a degree in CJ. They have their own 6 month class and it is required that you take it before becoming an officer in Lawrence, even if you were an officer in another city before.
