The U.S. Marshal Service position involves perhaps more dangerous duties than that of the FBI agent. Responsiblities include locating fugitives, going on lengthy assignments that often involve surveillance and stakeouts. Accordingly, essential skills include patience. It is also noted that agents working for the U.S. Marshal Service should be experienced, organized writers who can efficiently file reports. The video also noted that those with experience in law enforcement stand a greater chance of getting hired.
My qualifications for the U.S. Marshal Service position are similar to my strengths regarding the FBI agent position. I am an accomplished, lucid writer and my strong physical build would assist me when engaged on dangerous assignments. Additionally, my itinerant upbringing makes me uniquely qualified for extended, two-week assignments. Although I do not have experience in law enforcement, I feel my skills in other areas more than compensate for this particular deficit.
The ICE Special Agent position is different from the other two professions in that it involves focusing on those who import and export illicit materials. Similar to the U.S. Marshall Service position, the job involves a good deal of travel, although in this case the travel is often concentrated in Latin America. Agents are typically involved in gathering information for prosecution; the job therefore requires extreme patience...
There are also hours of boredom involved (in addition to exciting situations) and so an ICE Agent should be able to remain alert during periods of little activity.
Of the three jobs, I am perhaps best qualified for this position. I am Hispanic and fluent in Spanish (foreign language skills are a stated requirement for the position), and my itinerant upbringing makes me uniquely qualified for the extensive travel associated with the job. In his book on the life of an FBI agent, Mike Gorman (2007) describes how one of the main obstacles facing law enforcement officials is an inability to relate to the indigenous culture of the criminal. My Hispanic heritage and experience living in multiple cultures makes me able to see the world from the eyes of Mexican aliens (who are often the focus of ICA investigation) as well as those from other cultures. Although I would welcome any of the three professions described, the emphasis on foreign language skills the fact that real-life experience is not required make a career as an ICE Special Agent my preferred profession.
While he agrees that ethics training plays an important role in maintaining the integrity of the profession and insulating it from corruption, the detective believes that societal dynamics are more important in that sense than any kind of formal training. Theories of Police Misconduct: The special agent expressed the belief that criminality has many different causes and that they operate both individually and in myriad combinations in different people. He acknowledges
Law enforcement and corrections can be influenced by several external threats. These consist of external communication gaps and many environmental influences. One of the key external threats that impacts both corrections and law enforcement is politics. In delineation, politics is the art of wielding one's authority and power over the government or public affairs. In particular, political action can give rise to the imposition of one's interests within the government,
Many of these have been challenged throughout the years. In fact, here have been a number of cases challenging age discrimination within this more complicated situation. In the case, EEOC v. City of Janesville an individual fought the fifty-five-year cut off age for police officers in that county (Vance 1986). Opponents of the age cut off argued that age discrimination was acceptable only in "particular business," meaning for police officers
Law Enforcement Patrols and Gangs When the Police Are Called A call for police response by citizens is a service call, in which the public has an implicit assumption for immediate solutions. The motivations for citizens to call upon police intervention are cited falling into four classifications as; maintain social boundaries, relieve disrupting situations, counter-punching (the caller's own suspicious activities), or obtain emergency response services (Walker & Katz, 2008, p. 238). In
Law Enforcement On September 11, 2001, almost a decade past, the world was not only shocked by the events surrounding the terrorist actions against the United States, but the basic mission of law enforcement; local, regional, state, federal, and international, has dramatically changed. Since 9/11, the most basic mission of law enforcement has been to both uncover and anticipate potential terrorist targets and attacks and do anything and everything to prevent

At the top of the list was a link for job information about COs and jailers. Some preliminary information was presented to the right in a columnar format, which
