As a city police officer I attended multiple training events on FLETC (Federal Law Enforcement Training Center). I worked, as I've said, on the USMS Regional Fugitive Task Force. I also worked quite a bit with DEA and ATF while in narcotics, and had some workings with FBI and US Secret Service.

During training to become a fed, our class was mixed with other agencies and shared living quarters and the cafeteria with thousands of people from dozens of other agencies. If you've listened you know I'm a talker, so I was chatting with these folks.

After completing that, I've worked with most every agency in some way shape or form - city, state, and federal.

No, I'm not flexing, and I hope it doesn't come off as a flex that I simply worked with people. There are very high functioning people and very low functioning people with all these same experiences.

I say it so say that I can speak knowledgably on what different agencies do, what their training is like and what the atmosphere is like at the agency. I can also speak to the hiring process and qualifications from firsthand experience.

If you are considering transition to federal law enforcement, give a listen to decide what agency will be right for you!

Some of you, like me, are little quitters. I've resigned from corrections, policing, federal agencies and two branches of the military.

The variety has developed me, but would it have been nice to find the right home 20 years ago? Sure.

In this episode I will explore what different types of law enforcement agencies are out there and some potential red flags that should make you run!

I want the listeners happy at work, and if they're not, I want you to know how to fix it.

Share to prospective LEO's, and to those that are hating life and always talking about quitting. Maybe the grass is greener!

Once I hit the streets a lifetime ago, I quickly realized my strengths and weaknesses. One thing I could do consistently was spot in progress crime. Whether that means a car out of place, a guy changing how he walks when he sees me or an open window in January, I noticed change. This allowed me to regularly stop the "right" people - those doing crime - and put them in jail.

I was called almost daily by our city narcotics unit to stop cars, and when an opening came available, they asked me to put in.

My Sergeant at the time laughed at me when I told him I'd put in, telling me it was too soon in my career and I wouldn't get an interview. A month later, I was growing my beard and driving a rickety shitbox in plain clothes.

This episode will provide patrol with the method that worked for me to get off patrol and into what I enjoyed. Towards the end of my time on patrol, I was unhappy going to work. Narcotics was fun most days.

It will also provide an outline of narcotics investigative techniques that worked for me. With proactive investigations your imagination (and law and policy) are the limit, but there are some normal methods that are tried and true.

Please share what I missed on "That LEO Guy" Facebook via comment or message so we can get out the good word and help our LEO community to grow and succeed!
