I’ve seen bop creds, and you don’t need anything more than that Say i work as an investigative analyst for a federal agency but i am not an 1811, does that mean i can exceed age 37 and will be allowed to pursue an 1811 Try to make an arrest … you’re not trained for that, and have extremely limited authority
Inside The Bop House | List25
If an arrest is made on prison grounds, it’s the usms, fbi, or oig.
Officers are commissioned and receive full federal law enforcement salary and retirement
Staff fall under h.r 218 (leosa) and can carry in all 50 u.s States because of their law enforcement status The agency also has investigative units that conduct formal investigations into criminal activity at each respective institution and whom. First bop does not have an academy
You attend the intro to corrections course at glynco and it is only 3 weeks long You will work like normal until you attend the only difference is until you get through glynco you can not work any armed posts (tower, perimeter etc) and you are not qualified to carry off duty. Bop employees can carry off duty if they qualified each year on the range but must follow local carry laws as far as i know They are considered federal leo but have limited arrest powers
They are covered under federal leo retirement
You actually make more with bop then with nys corrections Nys starts at $36,420 while bop starts at $43,545 at a gl5 level in that area Even when you add the locality pay for nassau, suffolk, rockland or westchester counties at $3,210 for nys, you still end up with more at bop. The bop gets 6c coverage because their primary responsibility is to maintain the custody of offenders, not because they are law enforcement officers, per se
Bop staff can only enforce a handful of federal criminal laws, but they do enforce a ton of administrative regulations The bop is very stingy with pay compared to other federal le That said, most are hired at gl5, you are fortunate to be offered gl7 Where i am, bachelors and even master degrees are common for everyday working cos
Gl8 is the highest you can go as an officer, that is competitive
All that said, if you are well liked, you can promote quickly into one of many ancillary or management roles My ultimate goal is to work in federal law enforcement, preferably an 1811 position However, i am a little confused to how the age waiver works
