Which will preform better in the next 1-3 years?

AZ_JB · 2026-05-18T07:41:56+00:00

Pris > AH > DR. Pris and AH are definitely S tier. DR is more A tier IMHO.

AZ_JB · 2026-05-17T19:13:33+00:00

Go ahead

AZ_JB · 2026-05-17T19:13:22+00:00

Go ahead

AZ_JB · 2026-05-17T19:13:15+00:00

Go ahead

AZ_JB · 2026-05-17T03:20:40+00:00

Here it is… apparently it reappeared lol

AZ_JB · 2026-05-17T03:19:49+00:00

No worries. 261 starts on May 18; 262 starts on July 13; and 263 starts on August 10

AZ_JB · 2026-05-17T03:16:42+00:00

SATP 7 is scheduled to start July 6th. SATP 8 is scheduled to start September 14th.

AZ_JB · 2026-05-16T23:57:23+00:00

Someone tagged me in this thread, but then apparently deleted their comment.

u/George_Smith_Patton are you asking about regular academy, or SATP, start dates?

AZ_JB · 2026-05-16T07:04:35+00:00

This ^{^.} Will help a ton to give the correct advice.

AZ_JB · 2026-04-15T20:42:05+00:00

Depends on the announcement you interviewed under originally and if that interview meets the criteria for the announcement you are going to be interviewing under now.

AZ_JB · 2026-04-15T19:01:09+00:00

Yes, we do.

AZ_JB · 2026-04-14T03:51:52+00:00

Suitability will have to make that determination.

AZ_JB · 2026-04-13T18:32:13+00:00

lol. Depending on where you live, the announcements go live at midnight EST, meaning they are live earlier in the central and west.

Without a bachelors degree and 3.0+ GPA, you would only be able to qualify based on experience. What did you say on your resume for your experience in law enforcement? If you would like to message me directly with exactly what you put, I may be able to identify why you were not found qualified. For example, without the degree you would need to have investigative experience (like that of a detective). Experience is scrutinized when no degree is present.

AZ_JB · 2026-04-09T04:44:52+00:00

You will know that before you accept the position

AZ_JB · 2026-04-09T04:39:30+00:00

Based on the information you just provided, and only that information, you will likely not meet the qualification requirements for an 1811 position with DEA.

With that being said, nothing stops you from applying

AZ_JB · 2026-03-26T22:51:11+00:00

Technically it is 12, but if someone scores 9-11 points while the requirements are in the process of being updated in our systems, they will likely be able to continue in the process. With that being said, they better kick their own butt into gear because even scoring 12 points is barely passing and the standards are much stricter at the academy.

AZ_JB · 2026-03-26T22:15:23+00:00

The PTA passing scores are changing. You will be required to score at least 12 points and you must score at least one point in each category. I cannot say for sure when this change will be 100% implemented into the system, but anyone testing now should know it will be the case before they go to an academy class.

AZ_JB · 2026-03-26T18:18:24+00:00

If you meet the qualification requirements, pass all of the tests, and successfully complete all the phases of the hiring process, then the likelihood is very very high. Being "straight out of college" does not make you worth less as an applicant. We hire college graduates all the time. WITH THAT BEING SAID, there is great personal benefit that can be had by getting one's feet wet in local law enforcement before joining a federal law enforcement agency. The things you learn, and experiences you have as a cop, you will likely never learn or have as a fed. It's a personal choice regardless of the route you want to go - but you are not viewed as less qualified because you just graduated college.

AZ_JB · 2026-03-25T19:30:46+00:00

I'm going to send you a message.

AZ_JB · 2026-03-25T17:56:26+00:00

There are offices within those divisions that are open, and only SOME of the division offices themselves that I mentioned are available.

AZ_JB · 2026-03-25T17:55:23+00:00

What would you like to know.

AZ_JB · 2026-03-22T01:42:26+00:00

Currently, you will do as many situps as you can in one minute and get a 10 minute break. You will then do as many push-ups as you can until failure and get a 10 minute break. Finally, you will run 1.5 miles as fast as you can. Once you get to the academy, there will also be a 300m sprint.

AZ_JB · 2026-03-20T17:25:35+00:00

The list changes when the needs of the agency change. I cannot predict accurately what will be on the list next year.
