Unlike county police, Court police, local police and FBI agents
are granted from time to time top secret security clearance, and
deal with national security for the United States of America.this
smetimes meass protecting U.S and world leaders
FBI agents are there to protect federal law this is at the core of
3. its purpose.
Organize Crime. Public Corruption
Financial Crime.
Fraud Bribery.
Bank Robbery
Civil Rights.
Terrorism
Espionage. Drug Trafficking
All these crimes for fall on the way umbrella of the federal
government, meaning the FBI would investigate and put People
who commit these type of crimes on trail through the federal
government not to the local government but through the federal
government because it would be considered a federal crime. A
Felony
The FBI is the principal investigator for the United States of
America government.
Like local police they do contact surveillance is demanding a
“authorized wire taps exam and business records investigate
white-collar crime meaning Wall Street or embezzlement. They
also participate in under cover assignments and click evidence
of espionage for people who may be selling out the United
States government for Financial gain. FBI like local police have
to have a stringent educational background because of the vast
amount of science in which they investigate Hard Science
Engineering, Computer Science with experience of
Informational Science.
Unlike police officers who can walk out of the Academy
become a police officer, an FBI agent is required to have three
years of work experience hopefully in some form of policing..
4. They will take people who have experience in the financial
sector of a business, so when they have to investigate crimes
and Wall Street, or white collar crime they have somebody who
has the educational background and knowledge of how finance
works to bring forth a trial and conviction of that perpetrator?
Unlike police or other agencies who only have jurisdiction in
some areas, some counties or some parts of the state the Federal
Bureau of Investigations has complete Control and access of
any crimes throughout the United States of America they do not
have any jurisdiction they have total power over many local,
County, or state police department.
The FBI is the gold standard in policing not only in the United
States but, in the world.
Police Officer Candidate Assessment and Selection.
'Although methods of assessment and selection of candidates
vary among the approximate 12,000 local and state law
enforcement agencies in the United States, many similarities
exist between the longstanding departments. Some of the tactics
used may include written tests, a background investigation,
physical exam, and an interview. The majority of agencies must
follow state civil service regulations. For example, the New
York State Civil Service Commission administers the
preliminary police officer exam and then reports the results to
departments who supervise subsequent stages of selection and
assessment within the regulations set by the Civil Service
Commission. However, many larger city jurisdictions can
administer their own exam while adhering to both city and state
civil service directives'

Community police would be a little bit different or Parole
Officer or a policeman or policewoman, who in many aspects
only have oversight in some jurisdictions only need to have a
high school education.
For over 100 years the only thing you had to be to become in
5. New York City Police officer was a high school diploma, this
was the standard until 30 years ago when NYPD officials
decided that they wanted to have a much more educated police
force ,and, now an Associates Arts Degree or Bachelors Degree
is the only way you can become a New York City police officer.
You also must live in one of the 5 boroughs. Brooklyn, Staten
Island, Queens, The Bronx and Manhattan. unlike the FBI where
it can take up to 3 years to become an agent NYPD has a 13
week training program and a 6 months of probation. The NYPD
is considered to be the best Police department in the world, and
like the FBI there is a rigorous evaluation period.
Police officer hiring process
The police officer hiring process is much different than that of
any other job. It is not simply attending an interview and then
being approved for the position. In order to become a police
officer, you need to undergo a series of tests and each of them
can disqualify you. The entire process is quite competitive and
each police department can put more importance on a single
element of the process rather than on the other. Nevertheless,
the hiring process consists of several elements that are common
for each agency no matter if we talk about local, state or federal
law enforcement.
Once your application is accepted, you need to be tested in
order to prove that you have what it takes to do the job. This
includes checking both your general knowledge, writing skills,
physical abilities, and your background. Here are the steps that
you need to successfully pass through, in order to become a
police officer:
Written test
The police written test aims to check whether the applicant
possesses the basic knowledge to become a police officer. It
covers a potential officers reading skills, they may need to
read and also do a written exam? it is a timed exam and you
6. must score 70 pt or better
Physical ability test
The physical ability test (PAT) checks the fitness of the
candidate and their readiness to face the physical challenges of
the police officer job. This is standard at the beginning of a
NYPD career, NYPD is one f the worst and unhealthiest police
force in the USA
Medical exam
The medical exam aims to confirm that there are no medical
reasons to prevent you from doing your duties as a police
officer.
Background check
The background check is yet another highly important part of
the hiring process. All that you have provided on your
application must be true and checked multiple times,
Polygraph Test
The polygraph test aims to determine whether the information
provided by the candidate is correct. The exam is conducted by
a polygraph examiner, anything false will automatically have
you expelled from the academy.
Psychological screening
The psychological screening is usually the last part of the
process and the candidate sees a psychologist and/or takes a
psychological screen test. Are you ready? and if you pass this
part you are more than likely a future NYPD cop
Oral board interview
If you have passed successfully through all the tests, you are
invited to an oral interview where an interview panel. You get
to tell your life story and how you can and want to make a
difference.
Passing through all of these steps takes time, so we can sum up
that the whole hiring process is about three or four months and
the length depends on each agency.
7. In article written by Criminal Professor "Christine Gardiner" for
The National Police Foundation (NPF) study-examines-higher-
education-in-policing, she found that in the research that 30%
of police officers have a 4 year degree, a little more than 51%
have a two year degree while 5.4% have a graduate
degree.http://www.fbi.gov/stats-services/publications/law-
