JD/LL.B seems like a good idea to me too. There are some universities which offer distance LL.M programmes for non-lawyers too, if you're interested in a particular area of law. I mean, CJ is great for policing but as someone who has worked in a policing-related profession before I agree with you that studying law from a broader perspective will serve you well, probably more so than a doctorate in CJ as far as the world outside academia is concerned. Have you seen if there are any part-time JD programmes available in your area? I'm inclined to believe that a part-time JD from a local school will probably hold more weight than a JD from a for-profit school. (IANAL but I think we all know there's a certain degree of contempt towards online/for-profit education in the US legal profession)
I'm surprised nobody suggested an MPA programme yet. There's many distance ed options out there and considering you're in the public sector it could be a great asset for both your career and educational goals.
