I've been really getting into your channel, man. I'm thinking about a few federal forces before I get too old. 36 now but I'm still in Marine Corps shape. Thank for sharing your knowledge. I hope you're not dead my friend.
Fed is good for someone that doesn't mind working virtually the same assignment, with good pay and benefits, and has the opportunity to travel around the country and possibly internationally. State/locals is better for someone that doesn't want to move but has opportunities to work a variety of assignments (patrol, gangs, narcotics, burgs, robberies, homicide, etc). As a fed, you can apply for different agencies if you want a change. Some agencies may accept your prior law enforcement training, others will make you attend their basic training. One good thing about federal transfers is you usually get to keep your pay and benefits instead of starting all over again.
Thank you for this video, I really want to live in a metropolitan city in Texas because I’m from San Antonio, so I think I’m leaning more towards the Marshals because I know you get to stay in the region that you’re hired in
Thank you so much for the great info. I am very interested in working in with federal law enforcement and am already work for the federal government. Because of family reason I would prefer not to move. I have talked to a DCIS agent who told me they don’t have to move, but it is the only agency so far I found that doesn’t require movement. Do you have a list of those with offices in Ohio of agencies that do not require moving from place of hire? Thank you.
Great information for all aspiring federal LEOs. I wanted to update you on the current move policy for DEA. I am currently a DEA agent with over 18+ years on, but will soon be a former DEA agent due to this change of policy. DEA is now implementing mandatory moves for senior GS-13 agents based on their Entry-on-Duty (EOD) and if they have not moved (PCS or Voluntary Transfer) from their first assigned duty station. There is currently a list of targeted agents eligible for this mandatory move, much like the GS-14 HQ rotation list. The accuracy of this list is dubious at best. Agents eligible for this move will be given an option of 18-24 months of unaccompanied TDY to a hard-to-fill office (mostly in the southern US/MX border), or a PCS move. The intent of this change in policy is to shake up the senior GS-13 population to promote to a GS-14 and to assist hard-to-fill offices with seasoned agents. Most of these offices, especially in the southern border, are filled with agents fresh out of the DEA Academy and soon to be GS-13s working their way out of that office. This new policy will force many DEA agents, like myself, who do not want to promote, to prematurely retire when they’re eligible or lateral to another 1811 position at another federal agency, which is what I am doing. Those who will really be affected by this policy are agents who only have 14-15 years on and are not eligible to retire. I do understand DEA’s dilemma, but I believe this is a horrible policy and will only breed malcontents to all those agents and families affected. I wish them all luck.
The policy changed under the old administration (October/November 2020). The goal was to move 10 GS-13s per year from a list of 50 eligible agents. The first 10 agents were supposed to be identified by this February, but February came and went without anyone identified. I suspect they’ve placed a hold on the policy until they can produce a more accurate list.
@@leobondad9652 Constantine tried something like this back in the day. I know a few who received transfers intended to get them to retire. There were a few lawsuits and the agency stopped the practice. What are we supposed to do at the border now that it is open. I have a friend who works at NASA and they are trying to convince him to go to the border. Maybe change diapers?
@@federallawenforcementcaree9900 I heard that happened in the early 90’s. I think that’s the reason why they changed the policy from a punitive transfer to a more general blanket move. I’m pretty sure the lawyers worked on this for years. Other things that have recently changed for DEA is that the PIO and Demand Reduction are transitioning from an agent position to a civilian position. New hires are also given a Office Of Preference Questionnaire and are given their assignments prior to heading to the academy. Gone are the days where you head to the academy not knowing where you will be assigned to.
@@leobondad9652 Good stuff to know. I suppose it will depend on the new Admin and her decisions. Sending ppl to the swb unaccompanied for two years is crazy.
Curious as to when some of these agencies open up the hiring process? Because other than fbi and cbp i never see any other agency advertise for openings
Great information here! I think another topic that would be great to cover is the what it’s like to transfer between the different federal agencies and everything that goes into that.
I have transferred between federal agencies. The transfer is not automatic. You have to apply for the open position what ever it is usually thru USA jobs. What great about the feds is your retirement/benefits will transfer with you. If you have questions I don't mind answering them.
Probably pretty good with the DEA. The USMS hires for specific recruiting locations, so there will be specific vacancies in certain judicial districts.
@@diegoserna5481 If you are hired, they will provide you with a "dream sheet" which is slang for offices that you would like to serve in. Ultimately the DEA chooses where you will serve. You will be required to sign a Mobility Agreement that allows the DEA to transfer you to any domestic office without your consent, so make certain that this is what you are willing to do before applying.
They hire by regions and it depends on the needs of the service . But chances of going to the border or DC superior are pretty good. I spent 5 yrs on the border.
Can you make a video on how you guys have destroyed people’s lives with your stupid guidelines along with all the people doing 30 years for a non violent drug case because they wouldn’t snitch? Also how a federal judge is just a human calculator and the US Attorney runs the show thanks “special agent” ?

Hope you got it Oscar. Fellow SA guy here.
Can you make a video that provides an overview of the US Postal Inspector Service?
I passed both test for CBP and BP!
Good news! Congratulations.
What’s your status now 3 years later?
@@Spears101 I did became a spacial agent, didn’t went through with CBP but I made my dream become a reality!
Sir perhaps you can do a video on NCIS and DSS. Thank you!
Will do.
Both go thru CITP (Criminal Investigator Training Program at FLETC in Georgia). Both have add on training for another 3 months plus at FLETC.

I second a video on military police and their powers & jurisdiction; as well as military criminal investigation unit (NCIS, AFOSI, Army CID)
IRS-CI ?
Wonder what happened to him
He's probably dead now. He was DEA, he put some bad people away and they will green light hits on the cops.

DEA is currently hiring CBP and Border Patrol are also taking applications.
which 1811 required the less?

What are my chances of getting south texas as a dea or Marshall? I always wanted to be a federal agent, but I wouldn't want to leave my home state.

@@federallawenforcementcaree9900 thank you sir for your response, so for dea how do I apply for a specific location?
