Requesting a list of Government Agencies

Veteran

Demonte Joe Killeen , TX

I am looking forward to joining a government agency after I depart from the Army. Anything with a task force, criminal investigator, or special agent positions. Any requests?

www.usps.com - USPS hiring vets. Also look for info on USPS Inspection Service. I believe their hiring just closed a few weeks ago - but awesome info on their site - go to www.usps.com and click on Inspection Service link at the bottom of the page. You may want to check out jobs with USPS by clicking on the Careers link at the bottom of our website. Thank you so much for your service!

Sounds like the FBI would be your best bet.

But, two things will definitely help:

1. Having a degree for professional positions. That is, not field agents.

2. Consider relocating to the Washington, DC area for a few years to build up your skills and experience. Most of the major agencies are here in the area.

Dear Specialist Joe,

Many of the jobs that might be of interest to you fall under the 1800 Occupational Series.

Go to www.usajobs.gov > select “Federal Employees” as this will include jobs open to Veterans > click on Advanced Search > click on Occupational Series or Job Category > in the Search for Occupation(s) field type 1800 then select the box for the 1800 Series > scroll to the bottom of the page and click on Search Jobs.

This approach will allow you to see all of the related jobs that are available, as well as the salary and experience/education requirements for each job. Later, you can narrow down your search to specific geographic areas by using the “Location” filter.

Good luck with your transition and thank you for your service!

Sincerely,
Bob Jurasek

There is a GAO Report titled: "Survey of Federal Civilian Law Enforcement Functions and Authorities". It is a little old (2006) but has a very good list of all the Federal Law enforcement organizations.
