Hey guys. I have an interview coming up for the Federal Public Defender's Assistant Investigator position. I was curious to know what you guys think of this position. Essentially, the goal is to pursue a career in law enforcement and work up to federal law enforcement. Do you guys think this position would help me get my foot in the door and acquire some good experience for a future LE job?

You know what you guys are not the first to tell me this. I am currently working in juvenile corrections for 2 years and I am ready to get in the field and pursue a career in law enforcement. However, nothing has come up yet. I have heard that many feel this position can make you look tainted.

I really doubt that they will hire someone without extensive investigative experience.
Other than that -----OUR local Federal Public Defender's office has a pretty good reputation within the LE community . But like stated above, I don't see an investigators job with them as being a resume BUILDER. It's more of a semi retirement job for someone with experienceMy new word for the day is FOCUS, when someone irritates you tell them to FOCUS

^^^ Usually the DA and PD investigators have previous investigative experience,. The two PD investigators I've met weren't former cops, they were civilian insurance investigators previously. Cops usually don't want to work for that side. In Colorado the PD investigators aren't considered peace officers."I am a Soldier. I fight where I'm told and I win where I fight." -- GEN George S.

"Fair" sort of implies that everyone gets equal treatment, meaning the victims should also have a fair trial, with all of the evidence available. Digging up dirt, true or not, related or not, to destroy and humiliate the victim doesn't sound too fair.
A tax-paid (only for indigent) attorney carefully looking over all of the evidence, making sure the client isn't being railroaded or intimidated, and sure, infuriating as it is to us, even attempt to put up some mitigating information about the five minutes of good the client has managed in his or her life sounds fair and reasonable.
But the increasingly expensive to us dog-and-pony show Tick references, is a travesty and an insult to the LEOs that risk their lives and personal comfort to round up these feces stains, then endure grueling hours of paperwork to make sure every last detail is in place to prevent the dog-and-pony show.
