Federal Investigations - How to Join, What to Expect

As a city police officer I attended multiple training events on FLETC (Federal Law Enforcement Training Center).  I worked, as I've said, on the USMS Regional Fugitive Task Force.  I also worked quite a bit with DEA and ATF while in narcotics, and had some workings with FBI and US Secret Service. 

During training to become a fed, our class was mixed with other agencies and shared living quarters and the cafeteria with thousands of people from dozens of other agencies.  If you've listened you know I'm a talker, so I was chatting with these folks.

After completing that, I've worked with most every agency in some way shape or form - city, state, and federal.

No, I'm not flexing, and I hope it doesn't come off as a flex that I simply worked with people.  There are very high functioning people and very low functioning people with all these same experiences.

I say it so say that I can speak knowledgably on what different agencies do, what their training is like and what the atmosphere is like at the agency.  I can also speak to the hiring process and qualifications from firsthand experience.

If you are considering transition to federal law enforcement, give a listen to decide what agency will be right for you!
