Hey, I'm 14 and I'm trying to search information on the internet about majoring in Criminal Justice. I wanna find out how long its gonna take, and what are the steps to reach my goal. I searched online, but all I'm finding is how to get your degree online. But thats not what I'm looking for. If any of you have family members that are cops, or detectives can you please answer my questions. I want to be a detective really bad!
1. How long does it take?
2. Do you have to be a cop before being a detective? If so, for how long?
3. Do I go to a certain college to major in criminal justice or should I go to a 4 year university?
Thanks so much! I will rate!

You should go talk to your school councelor, or college advisor. You can go to any four year University, or Community college and talk to someone about your worries. If you tell them exactly what you want, then they can probably point you in the correct direction. I found my current college, from talking to an advisor from a different University. That advisor told me the college that had the best classes for the degree that I wanted.
You can't always trust online sources, but if you try searching online, go with the sites that are .edu or .org or .gov instead of just simply .com.
But you are going to have better luck going to a high school or college advisor about this subject. [ selectopaque's advice column | Ask selectopaque A Question ]
