US Probation Officer

[TPD85]

I had a quick question about pay....

Trying to determine what starting salary would be, or what I could potentially make once off probation. Deciding whether is worth leaving my local LEO job, and if pay will be somewhat the same.

What state/city did you apply for? Congrats.

Thanks guys. I have 7 years of state probation and 3/4 of my masters completed.

I've been offered a job as a USPO and am both excited and nervous about the opportunity. It seems like the current USPO's in this thread are satisfied with the job, which is encouraging.

Congrats!!! What is your background and where will you be working?

Congrats! Jdg0044. Very exciting news.

Did anyone apply to the recent USPO openings in the east coast?

[AKtransplant]

I applied to the flagstaff location for USPO, does anybody have any information on caseload, morale etc of that AO? Thanks!

I too shot you a PM. Thanks.

[dsb05c]

If you don't mind me asking, where did you apply to?

Each district is different so it is hard to say. It took a little over a week to get my offer when I got hired. It took three months total from my application to start date.

I sent you a PM.

I just wanted to get some insight on the hiring process. My first step was a writing sample and a test for spelling and grammar. After that I had an interview with 5 supervisors and the Deputy Chief. After I completed that interview they had me wait around and then I went to meet with the Chief. I know nothing in the Fed happens fast but its been 4 weeks and I'm getting a little antsy. Can someone offer some insight on how the decisions are made? I figured it would be fairly quick since each office does their own hiring.
