FBI agent candidates must have a bachelor’s degree and at least 3 years of related full-time work experience. Experience in law, law enforcement or the military will help if you're interested in working for the law enforcement branch of the FBI. If you're interested in working for the FBI regarding matters related to financial crime or fraud, then experience in the financial field would be relevant. \n\nCandidates must successfully complete a written and oral examination, medical and physical examinations, a psychological assessment, and an exhaustive background investigation. Also, candidates must be between 23 and 36 years of age at the time of appointment. \n\nThe FBI looks for candidates who have bachelor's or master's degrees in criminal justice-related areas, engineering/science, accounting/finance, or foreign languages.

Depends on who you are having to testify against and if you are their only "eyewitness" or if there are other people testifying as well. \n\nIt is a hard call, but if you are the main witness for the case, in other words if the FBI would not have a case without you, and you are testifying against a violent criminal with connections to any kind of crime organization (i.e. the mob, a biker club, a gang, etc.) I would say be more worried about if you will still be alive to testify at the trial the FBI is not known for their ability to keep witnesses in such cases alive long enough to testify.\n   \nIf you feel you are compelled to testify about what you saw no matter what the personal dangers may be for yourself or anyone you know and care about. Be ready to pay very close attenetion to every one and everything around you for the rest of your life. \n\nBecause there are organizations out there that will and can find you no matter where you go, and if you have any family or close friends they will be in definite danger as well. \n\nThere is no place where you can not be found, and not every FBI agent works for the FBI alone, some of them have side jobs that are very lucrative, like selling information. All somebody has to do is find out your new name, or what state or country you relocated to, and you are found. \n\nAlso Witness protection means you can NEVER EVER NO MATTER WHAT speak to anyone you know or have ever known your entire life it also means you can NEVER EVER AGAIN make a friend close enough to you for you to tell them about what you did, because if you do your dead, and so are they probably.

You have to go to college and obtain a degree in a policing field first.  Then you have to be hired and go through training. Then you have to be on the force for a few years, perhaps several years obtaining basic experience. Not sure the steps from there, I'm still in college.

2nd Class petty officer, Corpsman.  Served aboard Submarines, and a Frigate...detached for service with the US Marines and served as a Medic for Amphibious Assault.  \n\nSuggestion, I would suggest that if you want high end jobs in the military, then get your college degree, or make it part of your enlistment.  You can be an intelligence officer as an enlisted person, but to achieve Detective status and such, you'll need to be an officer.  The seals are extremely high end and very hard to get into.  To be considered, you'd need to be already in the Navy, and the one of the top in your field, then its six months of the hardest training you can imagine.\nI wish you luck in your Military career.  I enjoyed mine.

Yes many police department will see this as a plus.\n\nMost of the better departments will require a college degree. To get into the FBI you will have to have one. FBI would rather see an accounting degree, computer programing and simular degrees.\n\nEven within police departments, many are looking more at mangement degrees over criminal justice degrees,  but a degree for any advancement and gettinghired in a good department is almost a must.

Consult The Book of U.S. Government Jobs at your local library, take the Federal Civil Service Exam, or the exam for those who want to become a member of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. \n\nCollege students can talk to their counselors or contact the office at their college in charge of job placement. \n\nConsider making some political connections. Politicians do make for some "strange" bedfellows; but, they tend to "bed" with their own.

Look up information on your local departments.  Also look up county and State in your area to see who's hiring.  Some of them require college, but not many.  When a department is accepting applications, they will put you through a process that will include a physical and a written test and a background check.  If you make it through the process, the department will hire you and send you through the Academy.  Larger departments like State Police has academies running all the time.  They usually last a few months or weeks depending.  A smaller department might take a while to send you through and you can get on the road.  Good luck.  It's a great job!

Getting a police position pretty much involves a uniform process.\nFirst, find a dept and their requirements/qualifications. Most require an age, an educational background and a NO FELONY criminal background. If you meet these requirements, then go ahead and contact various departments, if they are accepting applications for open positions or ongoing recruitment, then request an application. \nYou are most likely to then take a written exam if you qualify. Then a physical/phychological screening, drug test and a final offer of employment. The whole process takes about 4-6 months so get on the horn. \nIm in the process myself for several dept's. Good luck!

Unless you are in one of the few communist states in America, all you will need to fill out is a 4473...all of your personal information, a question asking if you are the actual buyer of the firearm, several questions concerning any criminal record, a question concerning your american citizenship, another asking if you have ever denounced your citizenship, and that's about it...the store calls the FBI, they make sure you are telling the truth and you can legally own a firearm, and if you are approved, you're done.  Alot less complicated than it sounds...plus, of course, you must be 18 or older...

The Swat Team was developed in 1975. The original team of five officers was sent to Quantico,Va for training at FBI Academy. In 1980, the Selective Enforcement Bureau (SEU)/Swat Squad was started. The swat team had two sergeants and eight officers. Over the years the swat team has expanded several times to its current staffing of 25 officers and supervisors.\n\n    The swat team is automatically deployed in situations involving barricaded/armed suspects with hostages, sniper attacks, security of visiting dignitaries, rescue operations in police related situations, protecting Fire & Police in mob actions, arsonists and insurgents, and assisting supervisors in the deployment of special weapons and chemical agents.\n\nQualifications: To become a member of the Tactical Team, the officer must have at a minimum of two years with the department  prior to being accepted on the team. The officer then must get supervisory approval from his/her immediate supervisor with concurrence of their Lieutenant prior to the testing process.\n\n    The testing phase consists of a physical agility test, Firearms test, Oral Board test, work history review, 1 week Basic Swat School, a Tactical Team Peer/Supervisor review, and Psychological Examination.\n\n    Once an officer is selected to join the Team, he/she has already completed the Basic Swat School Training. The Team trains once a month with both centralized and decentralized members. The Sniper Team trains an additional two times per month, with a total of three days a month. The monthly training's are considered in house training's.\n\n    The Team at times trains with other local, state, or federal agencies when given the opportunity. Training is not just limited to in house training. Each year the Team Commander and Sergeants identify additional training's in state and out of state to send members of the team to. Officers must maintain a physical fitness standard  and test yearly.\n\n    The Tactical Team training consist of covert entries, hostage rescue entries, rappelling, weapons training with handgun and specialty weapons, vehicle assaults, rescue operations, helicopter insertions, and yearly physical fitness testing ( cooper standards).\n\nFor additional information, please contact the Tempe Police Department\nor visit their web pages Selective Enforcement Unit - S.W.A.T.\n \n \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nEmail questions or comments about this section of our web site to Brandon_Banks@tempe.gov\n© Copyright City of Tempe 1994-2006  \nAbout the TPD\n2003 Annual ReportEmploymentHistoryVolunteeringMemorial PagePolice Honor GuardOn Line Forms\nVacation WatchExtra Patrol RequestDrug Activity ReportTraffic Complaint911 SurveyDivisions\nPatrol DivisionInvestigations DivisionUnsolved CasesSupport Services DivisionCrime AnalysisCrime Info\nCrime PreventionCrime AnalysisCrime StatsSex Offender ProgramAlarms
