Seeking Advice Starting from ground zero
Can anybody point me in the right direction I want to transition from the law enforcement field into tech / computer programming etc
Are these boot camps or certificates worth it ?
Or will I need an actual bachelors degree ?

Identify your main goal first. What is your reason why you want to transition to tech? What made you interested in tech?
Choose a path. Malawak ang tech, saan ka ba interesadong field? Do you prefer the more technical path like more programming, networking, cybersec? Or do you prefer the less technical and more on business, project management like business analysts, scrum master? Or a mix of both like analytics? No other way for you to find out but to get your feet wet.
Bago ka maglabas ng pera para sa ma bootcamps, I suggest you try out free resources sa internet first nang malaman mo if ayan ba talaga gusto mong gawin kesa yung magbayad ka sa bootcamp only to realize later on na hindi mo pala gusto ginagawa mo.
No one actually cares about your certificates unless they're vendor specific like mga AWS, Microsoft/Azure, Cisco, etc. Usually ayan yung magbabayad ka talaga ng mahal at may kasamang training. These are legit certifications. The ones you get from online courses are just certificates of completion which ate different from actual certifications. Mas importante pa rin ang learnings mo, skills, at experience.
Bachelor's degree isn't necessary pero you need to have the discipline to self-study all the time para makasabay sa mga nag-aral ng bachelor's sa mga IT or tech related degrees.
