Exbpa340 Maybe I didn't even apply. The central point here is that it having a relative involved in hiring at least by this persons post looks bad. And I agree with your other post on the next page. Im not the one who deems people qualified, thats up to the agency. However having a family member possibly...

[Levithane]

Let me be very clear, me pointing out something that is possibly in violation of Federal law isn't me whining. If you are getting annoyed about me pointing out something that has the optics of a violation, you best be prepared to know how to deal with lawyers who come at you in the event your actions...

[Levithane]

Because I pointed out clear issue, that is me justifying myself?

"I can’t seem to reply to your private message so I’ll just answer you here. Idk what counts as someone recommending me to ice, but my brother helped me with the application process. Not sure what his title is but he said he is part of the hiring team? Again not sure that means. I know he has...

[Levithane]

Sir with respect, the reason there is debate going on is because one person on here admitted their relative helped them with the application, and their relative is on the hiring team.

[Levithane]

P.I.D.I01 you clearly misread my post or interpreted it wrongly. When i am investigating someone for their clearance, I am obtaining information from people to make sure that person can't be exploited. Family members will more often than not always provide a more positive picture of a person. Theres...

[Levithane]

Not being sour, I'm simply pointing out there are nepotism laws in place. If his brother is a gear in the hiring machine and simply moved his application forward because "they are a family member" thats an issue. Especially when from my observation on here there are people who have more experience,...

[Levithane]

No its not a bunch of agents hating life. Its a bunch of people who like many other people get tired of having to investigate the same nonsense that can easily be averted.

stanford.west my post was not aimed at you.

Rickyrecon012 Your brother better have a good explanation as to why someone with only an associates and experience in mall security received an offer (based on your previous post) when military veterans and people with higher degrees received...

You seem pretty knowledgeable of these things. Is there any particular reason FLETC hasn't expanded training/make use of other facilities? It seems like every time you guys come on here and talk about the state of things, it sounds like everyone is strapped for space....

[Levithane]

I hope you and your brother realize you both can get in trouble for something like that. Its one thing if you get an agent or DO to give you a recommendation. Totally different if a family member who is apart of the hiring team or the agency decides to give you a recommendation. Depending on where you...

[Levithane]

I'm being pessimistic, but I don't think they have a number of people approved to hire that will warrant/necessitate that. The reasons being more than half of people who apply fail the physical, on top of whatever the failure rate is for their polygraph, not passing a psych or medical, background investigation,...

[Levithane]

Very doubtful, since FLETC sounds (judging by this forum) like it is usually at max capacity for classes its safe to assume DEA and FBI are at max capacity as well. As of right now it doesn't sound like the virus situation will be much better by May.

Very many 1811 positions are filled by people from various walks of life, that is because the core of the job is communication and written skills. A surprising number of people lack written and communication skills, despite looking good on paper. Nothing against FAM's but part of the reason people get...

[Levithane]

Yeah you guys who had records pulled are the fortunate ones, sounds like your cases were completed before the contingencies. What I detailed in my previous post is as of last week and this week. Currently going through stay at home orders, and PD's in my area stopped doing records requests/local background...

[Levithane]

The only way they would be able to still be hiring people is if they begin issuing interim clearances. On the BI side of things there is little to no route to pull records (employment, school, Police records). Those things are both typically done in person, unless there is an approved electronic route....

[Levithane]

I never said anyone who has used prescription medication that was not prescribed to them would not make a great agent. I'm not the one who makes hiring decisions so its not my place to have an opinion on the matter. It sounds like they treat it on a case by case basis now, so I stand corrected. The...

[Levithane]

Unless DEA has decided to change their guidelines, abuse of a substance not prescribed to you is something they have zero tolerance of. As far as I know its a disqualifier, period even if it was 10 years ago. Someone is free to correct me if I am wrong, but the only substance I know they loosened their...

[Levithane]

They're concerned about the virus thing obv, which is reasonable. Im assuming they're cancelling the PT recerts before going due to the virus? Unless they are screening people for Covid-19 prior to going, they're creating the possibility of a student bringing it onto the premises.

[Levithane]

Try calling the local PD in your area, if you are able and put your situation in writing. I think your explanation would be good with if you were dealing with a member on this forum, or any other state for that manner when explaining why your license expired if asked. New York on the other hand I'm...
