It helps to look on hotjobs.com or monstertrak.com  Usually, you could find somekind of listing for government jobs.  Additionally, you could check their websites and see what kind of requirements they have.  \n\nwww.cia.gov\nwww.fbi.gov\n\nAs opposed to what the last person stated, not all jobs for the cia required experience in law enforcement or military.  I found a cia job listing requiring a degree in engineering for weapons analyst.

They'll usually hire an outside agency to do it.  Can be a company that specializes in that, some security companies do it, local police department or sheriff's office, state Bureau of Investigations office.  I think there's some web sites as well, you pay a fee and can run checks on people, but I don't think they'd have access to fingerprint information.  \n\nAs far as just criminal histories, that's public information.  Most states/counties have web sites you can look up individual's traffic citations, arrests, or civil claims.  Most you can look right on line, others you have to mail in a request.

I agree, the degree will help open doors, if you want to work for the FBI but I do not see any difference in job advancement unless it is in the entry level.\n\nI know investigators' with no advanced education who are top notch. I also know investigators with a  degree who have  "Book Sense";however, lack common sense in application of the law.\n\nYou have to look at this on the individual basis. After all...when ever you begin working for an agency...Aren't you still a Rookie???

First you want to go to a college for your two year degree in Criminal Justice then onto a University for your 4 year degree in Criminal Justice. Then from there you will want to apply for the FBI school in the East. There is a couple of them. I am currently studying to go into that area of Law. Right now I am going to a college then I will be going into the Navy to take The Judge Advocate General program the Navy Offers. THat is another great place to start if you want to go into Law.. I wish you the best!!

Copy everything he is saying and then call the FBI (the number is in your phone book) or find the site for Homeland Security and give them a call and tell them as much information as you can about who or what this person is and everything that they have said.

I'm sure there are plenty of law enforcement jobs that you could apply for.  Also, consider that you might also be in the position of becoming a consultant of some sort.

Take the courses, pay the fees, get fingerprinted and other background checks, and pass the test.  \n\nTaa dah!  you licensed as a salesperson.  \nBroker's license is a little more complicated.

Interpol (the International Criminal Police Organization) has wanted posters of some of the world's nastiest criminals:\nhttp://www.interpol.int/Public/Wanted/Default.asp\n\nAs to where to gain the skills, I would recommend  the United States military - the Navy has SEALS, Army has Delta Force. Both are elite units where you learn the types of skills that would come in handy hunting international criminals.\nhttp://www.sealchallenge.navy.mil/\nhttp://specialoperations.com/Army/Delta_Force/\n\nThe FBI and Secret Service also specialize in the apprehension of criminals, and both offer excellent training for agents.\nhttp://www.fbijobs.gov/\nhttp://www.secretservice.gov/opportunities.shtml\n\nBy the way, a "guerilla assassin" would be someone who works way, way outside the law. I believe the title you are looking for is "global vigilante".

You don't just become a spy. You have to start off small and work your way up the ladder. Once you acquire enough connections and reputation in smaller related jobs, you might be offered a higher position.

Focus on the FBI goal for now, and volunteer for political candidates who interest you.  The rest will come in time.\n\nGood luck  -  especially with the class  :-)\n\nOh yeah - I wouldn't worry about the Freemasons, unless they really rock your world.

You just can't join any local police force and expect to be a member of a SWAT team or a SPECIAL OPS team. You'll have to start out like every other law enforcement person at the bottom of the pecking order, prove your worth on patrol then wait for an opening. When an opening comes you'll be competing with many others for the coveted slot. The same applies to police detective, etc.\n\nWith the Secret Service or the FBI you can go in heads first and be put out in the field almost right away. The trick here is that is is a hell of a lot harder to make it through their training program.\n\nI was Army CID, then a Federal Air Marshall, then a private eye so I have a fairly good idea of the process.\n\nThere are a few exceptions, of course. A degree in one of the criminal sciences will certainly open the door for you in specialized slot openings. If you don't have that degree you can forget about the FBI, the DEA or the Secret Service.

I think joining the FBI would squash your dream of becoming a politician.  People would look at you as a former federal agent, and they would distrust you both as a bureaucrat and as a sort of "big brother" part of the government.

I think an education never hurts.\n\nBut, if I were you, I would contact a few investigative firms near my home.  I would find out if they could use someone young, who is willing to work for less money in exchange for on-the-job training.  The work may be a little boring to begin with, but nothing is as important as experience.
