Also keep in mind that other stressors will come from command staff members including the officers you work with, this job comes with high rates of divorce, suicide, and after several years it takes it's toll on your body and attitude. The next time you see an officer that 20 plus years in this career ask him "How long before you retire?" you will find that he can quote down to the exact days. If this is your calling then go for it but keep in mind of the things I have said, for anyone that makes a career it they are a survivor. Good luck in your decisions

I have been a molecular biologist for 17 years and have extensive experience and even invented a whole lot of things used in forensics labs (PCR screening) over the years. I was looking into something like this as a later career job, to work closer to home and try and "do some good" but all the feedback I got was that it's an insiders game, not really possible unless you know folks etc. Maybe just Massachusetts.
