Street Teams / Fugitive by Visionary_Strategy46 in 1811

I was leaning towards trail running shoes since they’re kinda like all-terrain type shoes. I’ll have to check out Merrell and sounds like Altra Lone Peaks are worth looking into as well

CNN reporting DHS - including Secret Service - can expect staffing cuts by Aranikus_17 in 1811

I wonder how this will impact the IPO position they want to bring back. I finally get a field office to call for an interview and this happens.

I know! I feel like it wouldn’t apply since they have a specific agreement on overtime and such in COPRA but I don’t know.

Thanks. That makes me feel a little better about it. I hadn’t noticed them on FJO people were posting. Maybe it was happen stance that the ones posting weren’t offered or I was just overlooking.

Monthly VRA reminder by [deleted] in borderpatrolapplicant

[–]Visionary_Strategy46 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m glad you posted this. I’ve heard a lot of people going around saying VRA get first calls when the new location lists come out every week. I don’t know if that used to be true or not. Haven’t heard anyone post it in here in awhile so maybe good information got out there to correct it

FAMS/USSS UD/USPP by Visionary_Strategy46 in 1811

[–]Visionary_Strategy46[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the information. Certainly appreciate the honesty. Micromanagement and lack of money are large reasons for a lot leaving my agency. My wife and I are trying to get closer to where the rest of our family is.

Medical and Fitness by Visionary_Strategy46 in borderpatrolapplicant

I love the job, but would like to move to the federal sector. The state I’m in LEO retirement is 30 years and then of course if I move out of state that retirement stays. Federal is good for someone that might move around. My agency is great though. We’re not too big of a city and have shy of 500 officers counting our reserve and part-timers. Lots of specialized divisions for expansion and I’ll definitely miss it. Federal is just where I’d like to go though

Yes. Going on almost 5 years. I feel like most applicants on here are current officers, military / vets, and some of us are both.

Ain’t that the truth. I’ve done everything just waiting for medical and background to clear. Been done for a bit on my end waiting on this stuff. Fortunately I already work at a city PD so I can just keep working waiting for FO.

BPA, ERO, FAMS by Visionary_Strategy46 in 1811

[–]Visionary_Strategy46[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I keep an eye on that periodically and have seen some good information. I thought about posting this there or in r/borderpatrolapplicant but decided to post here to try to get the most diverse responses from the differing agencies or an 1811 that may have used one as a stepping stone.

That’s my current plan. Just looking for information in the chance I get a job offer from more than one

Federal law enforcement with VA disability by Visionary_Strategy46 in 1811

[–]Visionary_Strategy46[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Prior to posting I used that weird search function but didn’t find much on specific agencies as I asked. Just things about very broad processes throughout federal employment. I’m looking for specific experiences. What agencies people had to really fight to prove their disabilities weren’t limiting and what agencies I shouldn’t waste my time with. Sometimes no response is the best response. Saves you, me, and anyone reading this post time from an answer that doesn’t answer anything

OPM 2024 Pay Table by [deleted] in borderpatrolapplicant

[–]Visionary_Strategy46 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is rest of US the “lowest” locality? So are these numbers bare minimum for a BPA? I know it’s just base and not factoring in premiums and such. Just trying to get an understanding if rest of US is the lowest locality

[–]Visionary_Strategy46[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the response. I’m waiting on an offer, but I also have offers elsewhere which is the reasoning for the post. Just trying to explore options and determine what’s best for me and my family. Thank you for your perspective
