Well I'm trying to become a police officer. More specificlly scottsdale or tempe police. Im currently going to school, getting a Associates degree in Anthropology. Now I have maybe 2 tickets, one from speeding in Cali and one from not having a seat belt on in Az. Now I worked at alot of jobs, but I left most of them do to school issues. Conflicting with times, I was wondering if my bad employment will effect my application. Or will the degree help even things out. Also I plan to just go to school and just do volunteer work with Flag pd instead of working, things like ride alongs and civilian police academy. Main question is with these things will the bad employment determine what happens to my app?

You want to go into the police? Good luck, most of the departments around here are laying off people and not accepting new ones.

As far as your degree goes, any degree would be helpful for the police department but considering that they currently have a whole lot folks applying with bachelor's, you'd be wise to continue your schooling until you graduate and the economy picks up.
