How Beneficial Would It Be to Join the Army Knowing I Want to Be a COP.?

Question by alex: How beneficial would it be to join the army knowing i want to be a COP.?
So im 21 years old and i work full time and i take classes on criminal law. But i only take 1-2 classes every semester because my job limits my availability for school. On top of that.. I only took 1 class throughout my college career.. I just recently went back to school so thats why. Anyways my ultimate goal is join LAPD Gang unit division but i understand LAPD is very strict when it comes to the hiring process. Although i dont have a criminal record, i have a dirty past when it comes to stealing and drug abuse. I have never messed around with hard drugs but i do smoke weed on the daily. I have to stop..
So im sitting in my office with a dead-end job knowing im not getting any younger, enlisting in the Army as a Military Police as my MOS didnt seem to be a bad idea. I mean, why not? I get to travel, get PAID for wat im passionate for instead of working 5am-5pm M-Sat doing the same thing. I was researching a lot and ive read all the pros and cons and im definitely interested. I want to join the army as military police. But how much will this help me in becoming a Police Officer. Maybe start off with the lower dept such as Torrance PD or Pasadena PD and then transfer to LAPD?
