you will fly a ton probably you're whole career, there is almost a zero % career path, but you will see the world. If your ok with that, go for it. It's a really cool gig.

I got scheduled for the PT/interview but I'm currently attending a police academy. I managed to schedule the interview on the day I'm off from the academy. The question is if I go to the interview could FAMS contact the academy. In turn they contact my local PD and next thing I know I'm out any job. I do want to go federal and being a local is a great opportunity but I feel like FAMS is something I rather be in

Being a street cop is easily a million times more satisfying and rewarding then being a FAM. Like Esco said, get some years on the street, learn the job, learn what parts of it you like, then decide whether you want to go fed or not.


ETA:Knowing what I know now, if the stars had aligned at the right local agency for me, I would have stayed a street cop. I knew the exact type of work I wanted to do, it's just that the only path for me to get there was to go federal. I probably have a fair amount in common with you so I'll PM you the rest of what I have to say.

Passed the computer test, panal interview, PAT, and I'm assuming passed the SAC interview!! Checked the dashboard and have a "star" over refered for selection!

New to the forums... i know i am probably beating a dead horse and all, but can someone give some insight on the type of questions that will be asked during the panel interview? Mine is scheduled and I want to knock it out of the park. Also, when is the next anticipated academy date for those who applied in this past Dec-Jan? Thanks in advance and you guys have been giving great information keep up the good work.

Does anyone know the feasibility of finishing an undergrad degree while working for the FAMS?

Anything is feasible with time and the willingness to complete it. It would have to be a completely asynchronous program though. Definitely online.

I talked to FAMS who said they had coworkers use all the sitting time on a plane to finish a degree, and then bounce out to another agency.
