I'm in Western Pennsylvania. I'm looking to enter any form of law enforcement from Campus Police to Deputy Sheriff. Any tips, advice, leads and references would be greatly appreciated.

SPC Brent Morrison Have you talked to any of them? A good way is to research and see what different missions they have? That way you can ask more in depth question. It also shows them that you have done your homework. Think of it as an informal interview.
