Hello there.
I'm planning on going to John Jay University in NYC when i graduate from High School, in a year or so. I've wanted to be involved with law enforcement for quite a while, and I just found out about John Jay University, so i'm pretty excited. My question is, if/once I get hired into the NYPD after all my schooling and whatnot, what are my options for future jobs? I'm really interested in something like FBI or CIA, or any other "intelligence" agency. I don't even know much about the two of them, or any other, and I know it's most likely very hard to get in, but I'd like to try, once "my time comes". What I'd like to know is, where can I find information about getting into one of those federal agencies? Would I need law enforcement experience (ex. NYPD) before I "applied", or would education be enough? What could I do now/in the future to better my chances of being hired? Do you have to be offered these positions or can you apply directly to *insert agency here*?
I'm sure this topic is beaten half to death by now, but this forum is big and it would take a pretty long time to search for this topic
.
ANY help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
