Do yourself a favor, figure out why you want to become a cop. Very few cops I have ever met are happy or even civil people. When you take on that job you metamorphisize into one of the low-lives you are assigned to control. I knew two cops who killed themselves and one that just got out of AA to resign. Let it be known to all rogue cops, your unfounded rudeness and failure to protect and serve will catch up with you.
If it's anything like Ontario, it'll be just under 50Gs Canadian (I'm guessing around 40Gs American) so there's no specific station that pays the most; they're all pretty much the same. Again, if it's anything like Ontario, you'll be in the police academy AFTER they tell you you're hired.
However, with current social trends and politics, police forces around the North American continent are looking for people who are minorities, and more educated than the average bear so a university degree certainly helps.
