There are no associate degrees in Finland, the lowest degree is a Bachelor.

There is only limited use for the knowledge from your previous degree, judicial system and policing in Finland are completely different from the US.

In addition to a Bachelor from the Police University, Finnish police officers need Finnish citizenship and Finnish and Swedish language skills.

When you think about it US requirements for police officer is a joke compared to requirements to become a police officer in Finland.
