Project: making the team: fedral law enforcement agencies. 1.Using the Department of Justice Organizational Chart, identify three federal law enforcement agencies that are of interest to you.
Once you have identified the three agencies that are of interest to you, go to the agency’s website and research the requirements and training for each agency. Make a chart that identifies the following information for all three agencies:
What is the minimum age for applicants?
What are the minimum physical requirements – hearing, vision, etc. – for all applicants?
What is the minimum education requirement for applicants?
Are there any physical tests that measure specific physical abilities? If so, what are those abilities?
Is there a background check? What areas are covered by the check?
Is there a psychological evaluation, lie detector test, or similar kind of test to measure mental characteristics and mental health?
Where does training take place? Is this the same facility for all applicants? Why or why not?
How long is training?
What is covered in training?
How are candidates evaluated during training? Are there options to retake tests that are failed?
2.Once training is completed, what is the next step in the career path? Describe this step, whether it is additional training, a field placement, or something else.
Once you have answered all of the above questions for each agency, compare and contrast the agencies. Write a 450-word discussion of the similarities and differences between the agencies that you studied. Make sure to address why these agencies show similarities or differences.
3.Make sure your work is typed in a standard 12-point font, spell-checked, and double spaced, and submit your work to your teacher.
