What kind of degree do you have?:confused:

[Bearcat357]

Off the top of my head.....

-Border Patrol (USBP)
-Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
-Bureau of Prisons (BOP)
-Pentagon Police (PFPA)
-US Capital Police (USCP)
-US Secret Service Uniformed Police (USSS-UD)
-FBI Police
-Federal Air Marshal (FAM)
-National Security Agency Uniformed Police (NSA)
-Central Intel Agency Uniformed Police (CIA)
-US Park Police (USPP)


And my list is just one off the top of my head....I am sure there are others out there. I did leave Dept. of Defense Police....Not even going to go there today......

There are several Investigative agencies (like US Marshals Service) that don't require degrees.....but the competition is so fierce, you probably won't be able to get hired.....as folks applying for those types of jobs usually have a degree, a lot of LE experience, military time, or a combo of all that......


My advice is to sit down and figure out what type of work you want to do....where you want to do it....and start looking at individual agencies....as each agency I listed has it's own mission in life.....

If you're into the tactical thing, Department Of Energy Transportation Safeguards Division.

PT test for them is insane.....but they make some good cash and are on the road all the time.....

Had a co-worker tryout with them a couple of years back. It took him 2 times to make the test but he made it and said it's good work for the single guys/gals that like to travel a lot.......

Cashew,

Core Requirements:

Must take the following in this section:
IS100 - Introduction to Terrorism
IS102 - The International Terrorist
IS103 - Mind of a Terrorist
IS200 - Terrorist Tactics

PS: your Jack Bauer 101 comment made my day :)

Is AMU any good? I'll be done with my AA in GenStud by the end of the year and planned on going to George Mason Univ for my BA. Maybe AMU would be a good route.

[madchiken]

Also, unless they have changed names, its DOE / NNSA / OST

I think its only for military, but I may be wrong

[rakkasan]

AMU is not only for military. I think it was back in the day, but its open to anyone. Its mostly active duty military, vets and spouses on there, but its a great school. Their programs offered there are pretty awesome, you wont find many of them anywhere else. Its fairly cheap and very military and tuition assistance friendly. Im working towards a BA in Homeland Security. PM me if you have any questions.

[flyfrog]

AMU is not just for military. Finished my BA Homeland Security 2 years ago with them. Went in with a general AA & finished in 18 months; 3 classes every 8 weeks got old though. They are cheap and most professor were at least good, some great.

NNSA is a good job if you want to live in TN, NM, or TX; and be on the road. I applied, tested when i was single. The are some of the most professional guys/gals i've seen: great gear, great training. Their medical is crazy and EKG got my HR over 200! They are on the road a TON! Not sure how the pay is but i think base was about a GS7, but 60-70 hour weeks make the $ good (or better). If only they were out in the mountain west...
