The FBI has a tactical recruiting program (TRP). Getting hired under the program guarantees you a shot at HRT after a few years. The requirements are below, if you qualify it sounds like a great deal.
Must have at least 3 years of tactical experience in either law enforcement or the military.
Law Enforcement Experience:
* With a Federal Agency tactical team (This category includes all Military Police.).
* Or with a Local/County/State Agency or Department tactical team.
- Full-time tactical team experience will carry more weight than part-time experience.
- Completion of continuing education courses in at least three of the following: Basic SWAT • Advanced SWAT • Hostage Rescue • High Risk Arrest • Barricaded Subject • Basic Sniper/Observer • Advanced Sniper/Observer • Tactical Firearms • Mechanical Breaching
Military Experience – Army
Combat Arms experience. Service in Special Forces Group or Ranger Regiment will carry more weight.
Military Experience – Navy
Must have served in the Naval Special Warfare Community as a SEAL or Naval Special Warfare Officer.
Military Experience – Marine Corps
Combat Arms experience.
Military Experience – Air Force
Must have served in Combat Controller, Combat Rescue (Pararescue), or Tactical Air Control Party fields.Comment

If you really want "tactical" experience you are wasting your time trying to start at the federal level. You have a much better chance at getting on a SWAT team at the local/state level. And if combat tactics experience is what you really want, you should consider the military instead.Before science, it was believed that autumn was caused by Chuck Norris simultaneously roundhouse kicking every tree on the planet.Comment

Err....I guess you didn't read his comments...
He is already working as a local SWAT Officer and wants to take it up a step to the Feds......and do the same thing at Fed level......
To the OP...My advice is to get with the local Federal Agencies that have teams and talk to them one-on-one.....and see what they have to say instead of some of the assclowns on here.....
At least you will be getting factal info.....and/or know where to go find it.....Comment

His profile says he's a student so I think he's using the "working with" loosely.Comment

He said he is a college student working "with" his local PD and "with" the SWAT team.Err....I guess you didn't read his comments...

His profile says he is not a sworn leo. Sounds like he's an intern or something.Comment

I as well as others interpreted the OP as a college student who interns with the local PD. My point was that the federal tac teams like HRT are smaller and much more competitive to join than local ones. Additionally, for federal you have to be an agent first, which as has been stated on here numerous times is not an easy job to get right out of college. Lastly, again as we have discussued numerous times, most 1811's are not out there suiting up and kicking doors every day, so if that is what he wants I recommend looking at local/state LE. JMO.Err....I guess you didn't read his comments...

Not that it matters, but that looks like the confusion. What does it matter? FBI tactical teams are not the same as DEA FAST, and not the same as USMS SOG. To begin with you have to want to be an 1811, and then be HIRED as an 1811, put in your time and try out for a team. If the OP's goal is to do tactical work, there is more than enough tactical work that needs to be done in the USMIL environment.I am a college senior and have always wanted to work for a federal agency.Comment

You do not "work with" SWAT. You're allowed to hang out around them. Big difference. Guys who work as Patrol officers "work with" SWAT.
As for your question, you're gonna have to put in your time in any job before they let you play with the big dogs. Unless you come out of some high speed military unit, expect a BARE MINIMUM 3 years.Comment
