"posting this up also for the guys in the struggle looking for a career in law enforcement." Not sure what you mean by this. This is a great agency and their guys are true investigators. This is not an entry level gig.

The day to day stuff is mostly doing interviews, submitting subpoenas, talking to insurance companies. If you can get into it, it's great investigative work, and also great for post-retirement employment.

But as sureshot said, this isn't exactly an entry level gig.

Im sure there are many people that fit the minimum requirements that are looking for work in the law enforcement field.

its always good to share job openings when they come about

not knocking the job and i definitely know this isnt a an entry level job.

The Department of Financial Services is actually the #1 on my list of hopeful employers.

The State Fire Marshals office is under DFS, however the only position the currently have open is in Gadsden County. I must check their site 4x a week for new openings in South Florida.

Did you miss the first line?

Minimum two (2) years sworn law enforcement experience is required.

No, do you understand that maybe people that are currently employed in a law enforcement agency are looking for work in other departments, different state/fed agencies, and other aspects of law enforcement such as insurance fraud investigations etc. etc etc.?
