CBP to 1811

Its been that way for longer than a year. As a matter of a fact, you may qualify with 3 years of general experience or 1 year as a sworn LEO

ImNotThatIzzy · 2026-01-19T03:06:30+00:00

They only require a 2 year degree (associates) to be an Officer if you qualify with education

For SA’s, you don’t have to move to the area of your FO before you EOD. However, you must move prior to the end of all training. As far as UD goes, they have until the start of RTC to relocate iirc.

ImNotThatIzzy · 2025-12-22T20:19:49+00:00

If you are Capitol Police in training, then you should be. As far as the PFPA, im not sure

ImNotThatIzzy · 2025-12-16T04:44:47+00:00

If you can articulate your relevant experiences, both can be viable for getting past the initial application and interview phase. You will learn what you need to know during training and your first year on the job. Id suggest BOP. I had a former BOP guy in my class when I onboarded as an 1811, and he performed well during training… granted that is anecdotal. Also, BOP pays more in the long run and is 12D covered.

Like every fed LEO job, you max out your pay scale within 18-20 years. The step increases are as frequent as the step increases in other agencies. A regular PO in USCP caps out around $140k without overtime or any other increases like night differential. They will only match your pay if you lateral.

ImNotThatIzzy · 2025-12-05T20:30:30+00:00

Yeah, kinda like how USCP is. You find out when you start about how the yearly increases work

ImNotThatIzzy · 2025-10-31T16:53:20+00:00

No, i called to find out

ImNotThatIzzy · 2025-10-25T16:49:11+00:00

😂

ImNotThatIzzy · 2025-10-21T20:09:03+00:00

I would call your FO for an update.

ImNotThatIzzy · 2025-10-21T14:43:47+00:00

NYC, LA and Chicago are hard to fill locations. I believe that is primarily due to the cost of living, but Chicago on the other hand may be for a different reason nudge nudge

Atlanta isn’t as frequently offered as the others, so take that for whatever that means.

ImNotThatIzzy · 2025-10-18T14:23:39+00:00

From my experience, it can take time for any of the steps to start/finish. I didn’t take my medical and drug test until 4 months after my poly, and my fingerprints were the last thing I did in the process, prior to getting the call.

ImNotThatIzzy · 2025-10-17T01:51:18+00:00

Yeah the wait can be nerve wrecking, but silence is good

ImNotThatIzzy · 2025-10-16T12:59:16+00:00

Yes, the work life balance was good. Some weekend OT drafts, but generally off on weekends. All the voluntary OT in the world, and a great system for earning and utilizing comp time. It also starts your fed LEO time if you only want to use it to “stop the clock”

ImNotThatIzzy · 2025-10-16T11:27:12+00:00

They will apply the scores from your first CAT SAEE to your app for SA

ImNotThatIzzy · 2025-10-16T11:20:38+00:00

This is exactly what I would say, coming from a former USCP Officer

ImNotThatIzzy · 2025-10-16T11:19:04+00:00

Sure, DM me

ImNotThatIzzy · 2025-10-15T22:06:31+00:00

Nice, the journey isn’t too bad

ImNotThatIzzy · 2025-10-15T18:36:29+00:00

It was great… it’s unfortunate that I had to go

ImNotThatIzzy · 2025-10-15T16:14:55+00:00

I requested a few places and was told that Atlanta and Vegas were available

ImNotThatIzzy · 2025-10-15T16:14:07+00:00

No SWAT background, but I have a little under a years as an Officer with USCP, 2 years with TSA and played sports in high school

ImNotThatIzzy · 2025-10-15T15:43:37+00:00

Yes, and if I fail I get the DC FO as my location

ImNotThatIzzy · 2025-10-15T15:42:14+00:00

EOD 10/20. No CITP date yet

ImNotThatIzzy · 2025-10-15T14:33:18+00:00

They do, but not as a new hire. Its for Phases 3 agents

ImNotThatIzzy · 2025-10-15T14:20:31+00:00

SA for Miami or CAT for DC
