TVthePunisher, has it ever occurred to you that the writers can do whatever they want and retcon age and flip the timeline around to suit them however they like? It seems as of the most recent season Dexter is 38/39 because of the reunion, especially if has been at Miami Metro for 17 years after he graduated college (21=17). Deb is probably in her early 30s. Police academy only takes 9 weeks or so and as far as I know, a college degree isn't always needed, though it does help with pay and promotion. If Deb went into training right after high school and has been there since '01, she's probably around the same age as her actress, give or take a few years.
