I get what you're trying to do.
It sounds really good in court saying you have a 2 year, a 4 year, and several academic and vocational certificates in your career path.
I also know you know that a CJ pair of degrees have almost no utility outside the protective services field, in case you have to punch out at some time in the future.
I'd think a local to you associates, and a 4 year at a university sounds better, as LLL mentioned. Name recognition for one, but if they don't know TESU, getting six years worth of degrees with them stamped like in the same year.... the best hurdles in testifying are the ones you don't have to cross.
Others here are smarter about the fiscal and common sense angles and will counsel you better there than I.
