Dept. of Alcoholic Beverage Control-Investigator

[Street_Cop50]

Hey everyone!

Just wondering if anyone on these forums is an investigator with ABC or knows anything about the job?

-Pros and Cons
-What their work entails
-Any other info/opinions you think a future applicant should know

I did a search on the forums, but couldn't find much.


also, anyone here move to CA just to get into LE? I'm originally from Ohio, where LE jobs are pretty hard to come by. How do you like it so far compaired to "home"?

Thanks for your time!
