Border Patrol only requires a year of qualifying work experience. Of course, there's basically no chance of working NYC with the BP, but you could always hire on with them, put in a couple of years and then hire within OFO for JFK. -
It's article 2 of the NYS CPL that assigns peace officer status to federal Leo's. It's fairly comprehensive so I imagine most federal agencies are blanketed by the NYS statues.
Are far as feds enforcing state laws, it'll depend on circumstances and the agency willingness to do so. As a... -
Buffalo is a very large port. Large ports are seldom, if ever, "full". Now, as with many other things, hiring trends are influenced by many different shifting factors and circumstances... -
Usually, moderately difficult to impossible. There are different avenues to relocate depending on circumstances. Some are based on mostly seniority, some are based on largely cronyism and nepotism and some are based usually on luck. -
CBPOs are peace officers under NYS law. Not that it holds much meaning to average CBP Officer in NYS. Very few CBPOs enforce any state law, anywhere. -
@Talonderiel
Take much of the current fare at the CBPO forums at Delphi with many grains of salt. Many of those posting there aren't CBPOs...or have very limited and closeted experience within OFO. They bluster and pretend to be subject matter experts posting in every thread and tossing... -
Your credentials come at graduation. The gun first shows at the academy during firearms training...but you really don't take possession of it until graduation. Most post-academy training falls somewhere around an 0800-1600 schedule, probably Mon -Fri...at least to start. The actual specifics will depend... -
Maybe. Likely it'll depend on how long you were a MSS before you made the jump to CBPO. -
Ask if you can postpone entering on duty with CBP until you graduate from the NYPD academy. They may accommodate you. -
There's no real commitment. One can accept whatever job offer is given and kill off any prior acceptance of a job offer. -
If you are male, young, White/Hispanic, non-college educated, a type "A" personality, interested in "living to work" and don't mind limited relocation options...go BP. The more you're not in the above mix...especially the female, "work to live" and want relocation options... -
I would say that if a person is on the fence between the BP and OFO within the "same" location, BP is probably the better choice. Unless one wants to move elsewhere in the future. OFO has far greater mobility. -
Overtime for CBPOs is profitable...if it's available. However, most ports in OFO have limited overtime availability and the average CBPO isn't swimming in overtime...just the outliers. -
I am no expert on Lukeville.
No port I'm aware of works anything like a 48 hour shift. If lucky, maybe a 12 hour shift might be an option.
There is, or was, some government housing available in Ajo.
Probably the best advice is to hop into a vehicle and take a drive... -
Supposedly, CBPOs were intentionally added to 12D retirement as a separate and distinct class so that the position could keep certain perks...like non-mandated age retirements for those hired under the old rules. As it was explained to me at the time, being covered as a series class offers a great... -
There's a chance. Specific to Montana and like ports, I'd say the chance was less than ports like Blaine, Detroit, Buffalo, etc.
Now, in practice it likely would depend on the nature of the TDY and how many volunteers stepped up and from which ports those volunteers came from.
... -
They will send people temporarily somewhere else, especially when the agency is in the soup...like with the caravan fiasco.
Check out the proposed BOUND Act. It's ports like JFK who will bear the brunt of that burden should that Act pass. -
If you applied for JFK and get hired for JFK outside of the initial academy training you should never work an unvolunteered shift outside of JFK...barring the odd forced TDY somewhere else. There is zero chance of a JFK hire starting somewhere else. -
The southern border represents a bit less than 30% of the total population of CBPOs. Whether they represent the majority of new hires I can't say for certain...but I suspect not. -
Very often, those incentive ports in the most rural, remote and isolated areas also have extremely limited opportunities for differential shifts and overtime availability as well. Most also are located in the lowest level of locality pay area.
That means working at near base RUS pay while...
