Homeland Security Police jobs are offered through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Under the umbrella of the Department of Homeland Security are a number of police positions offered through the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Federal Protective Service, U.S. Secret Service, and the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center.

The duties of a police officer or law enforcement agent under a Homeland Security agency can vary considerably from one department to the next. Those seeking a police job in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement will see a scope of possible duties that can include seeking out illegal aliens, detaining them and deporting them from the United States. In contrast, those seeking employment with the U.S. Secret Service will find the scope of duties include protection of elected officials, including the President of the United States.

Acquiring a law enforcement position with an agency under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security requires the undergoing of a stringent application process. Specifics can vary according to agency needs and requirements, however there are basic requirements common to most and a list of variables that will disqualify any applicant.

Generally speaking, an applicant seeking a Homeland Security law enforcement job will be expected to be a U.S. citizen in possession of a bachelor's degree, though in some cases adequate work experience can be supplemented for the degree. In addition, age requirements can vary. The Secret Service expects all applicants to be between the ages of 21 and 37 years old, while the C.I.A. requires that an applicant be no more than 35 years old. Regardless of agency, all applicants will undergo a rigorous background check. Anyone with felony convictions, or instances regarding questionable moral turpitude, will face rejection. In addition, physical and mental health assessments are routine. Many agencies use polygraph tests during the routine review of an applicant. They also delve into questions of character by interviewing family and friends. A credit background check is also to be expected.

Are high paying homeland security jobs offered to applicants without a degree and with no experience?

Can't find high paying homeland security jobs?? Cut and paste this (with quotes") into a Google search: "No luck with your search for homeland security jobs?" If you are without college and have no experience, that website can give you options if you're having a difficult time finding jobs in this industry. I think workers with airport security jobs also have the required clearances for homeland security jobs, so if you are having a difficult time getting your foot in the door, you may want to try getting a security job in another industry, then apply for homeland security jobs. Thinking out of the box is sometimes the best way to get into an industry that most people believe is difficult to get into. Example: people looking for high paying power plant jobs can get their foot in the door by applying for security jobs at the power plant, then once they get in it is easier to transfer to other departments. If you are looking for homeland security jobs, try doing the same. One possibility is to apply for janitor jobs at the homeland security offices, then once you get in it should be easier to transfer to the department that hires for homeland security jobs. Or, you may want to apply for other federal government jobs (which are easier to get), and once you get in it should be easier to get hired for homeland security jobs because it is in the category of federal government jobs.
