If you go out for an Associate Degree and get it, and then decide that you want a Bachelor's Degree, does that mean you only have two more years to get you Bachelor's Degree because you already spent two on your Associate's, or do you have to go to school for two years to get your Associate's and then turn around and go four years for your Bachelor's?

It all depends on the major. A friend of mine had an Associate's degree. It took her an additional 3 years with an Associate's of Science to receive a Bachelor's of science. But it was because her degree involved additional technical training beyond basic science classes. It really depends on how many of your Associate's credits will transfer into your Bachelor's program. The more credits that transfer, the less time you will spend in school. Speak with your advisor or a representative in Undergraduate studies to get an idea where you stand before you transfer.

Becareful that all the classes you take for an associate degree will be transferrable to the 4-year school you want to attend - many 4-year colleges have agreements with jr. colleges or community colleges to accept certain degree plans but others have NO such agreement. Just because one school gives you an Associate degree does not mean that any/every 4-year school will give you credit for ANY of your courses. For example, some online degree programs offer associate degrees but NONE of the coursework is transferrable toward a bachelor's degree. And that is the case for a few community colleges as well.
So, make sure you look at the 4-year colleges and what schools they have agreements with. In your Associate's degree you are much safer with "core" classes of math, english etc rather than electives - electives don't transfer very often to 4-year colleges.

i might get a 4 year degree in case you are able to. standards, at the same time with academic standards to alter right into a police officer, selection based on the police branch. so some distance as training is going, some departments basically require applicants to have a minimum of a intense college degree or ged, some departments require applicants to have a minimum of a undeniable volume of faculty credit (30 or 60 for example) or a 2 year degree, and a few departments require applicants to have a minimum of a 4 year degree.

The minimum would be two more years. Different coleges have different rules about how many credits they will allow you to transfer. Some private schools will only allow you to transfer in one year's worth of credits.
State schools -- especially those in the same state as the Community College -- will usually allow you to transfer in all of your credits.
