Customs and Border Protection- Overtime is Double, not time and a half. Just wanted to correct that. We also receive double pay on Holidays, Up to 20% night differential and 50% for Sunday Pay. All Capped at $45K. This is in addition to your Base Salary. Great video!!
Got the invitation from DEA to take the PT test next Tuesday in atlanta. Also, gonna take the secret service UD police officer entrance exam and cbp officer exam too. So excited for these opportunities
1 A “law enforcement officer” is defined in the statute as “an employee, the duties of whose position are primarily the investigation, apprehension, or detention of individuals suspected or convicted of offenses against the criminal laws of the United States, including an employee engaged in this activity who is transferred to a supervisory or administrative position.”
It is weird that you posted this today because I have literally been researching this all morning trying to understand the difference and terminology to know what to look for.
The main thing is to look at the age cutoff. The BIA (Indian affairs) says they have been approved for the LEO retirement provision, but it is not yet reflected in their job vacancy announcements.
@@federallawenforcementcaree9900 I went back after the video and compared the USAJobs announcements I was looking at to see if they mentioned the age requirement and that made it so much easier to identify. Everything I saw on the forums this morning kept talking about 6C/12D and "covered" pistons but no one was explaining what that meant. Your video cleared all of that up. I was giving serious thought to applying to a USAF police position but I'm glad you pointed out that it isn't covered and now it makes sense. Thank you for translating all of this.
Look, it’s all the same retirement. 6C you just get a little more in retirement then others and you get to retire a little earlier that’s it. Everyone contributes to FERS or the old system. Every gets the same health retirement benefits. I went from 6C to non 6C.
I hope it passes as well. It is really unjust to have two tiers of federal LEOs. Of course, I think there will be a huge movement from state/local leo to the federal govt if the VA police or similar agencies receive federal LEO retirement. I would also like to see the LEOSA bill revised as some states (NJ, CA) and some cities are using it to stop LEOS from outside their jurisdiction or retired from carrying large capacity magazines.
I think that all GS-1811 are FLSA exempt as of around 1992. Everyone now receives availability pay. Back when I came on it was called administrative uncontrollable overtime and had to average 2 hours a day, but there is no longer any time requirement. They can and did make me work 7 days in Miami and El Paso. If I wanted a day off, it was leave. IN the early 1990s the federal law enforcement officers assoc won a lawsuit and all of us received back pay, but then Congress changed the law.
USSS agents make so much overtime, particularly campaign years, that congress lifted the pay cap most federal employees can’t exceed. USSS agents can now make upward of $184K / year. The pay cap has been lifted every year since 2016. USSS agents are some of the few, if only, 1811’s that make overtime.
Correct. Protection they get OT. Investigations has to be taken as LEAP. Still SS Agent, UD and IPOs make a killing in Overtime. All are well above $100k. IPO also gets AUO which is similar to LEAP. UD doesn't get either.
Technically leap pay has nothing to do with being available. According to OPM guidelines an agency rules the hours must still be worked. However the 25% is nice. It’s a great video, but you didn’t mention the joys of Max out
Is it possible you can do a video on U.S. Fish and Wildlife police and or the land management police services forest service, National Park police/Rangers etc. It would be awesome if you could. Thanks
Good Morning sir, I've been watching your videos and love the content. I have a question In regards of transitioning from U.S. Navy AD to FBI Police/Other Federal Police. I want to make the transition for my families sake but I fear the pay cut will be significant. I've done 4 combat deployments back to back and I am currently on shore duty. Is it worth it?
Most of the USAO investigators were more similar to paralegals. The federal agencies are their investigators...so if we are bringing a case, they task us with whatever they need for prosecution. I never met a USAO investigator, but if they are covered then it would be a good job....if you like working with Assistant US Attorneys :)
@@queensmarine6506 I did not know that. I know about DOJ OIG which works for the AG and I knew that the USAO had investigators, but they didnt make arrests or carry firearms. Is this just one district or nationwide?
Getting ready to hopefully get picked up for your agency here for the next class date. I have 12 years active duty military, with 8 years of guard time. If i did 25 years in the agency, with my total military time, what kinda percentage would I be looking at in retirement ballpark, lets say if i make it to the gs14 step 8 pay scale? Do they only count active duty time, or will it be total military time? Great videos, thanks for all the info so far! Thanks!
You can and should purchase military time. If you do, you will need to do 20 years covered time and your military time will be added at 1% of your high 3 for each year. So your percentages would be 34% for your LEO 20+12% for your military time+ Fers supplement. It should come out to about 55% of your pay. Once you get to a high level at Grade 14, 15 becomes irrelevant because you top out on pay (you can only make so much per year and with LEAP you are at that level). To purchase military time, your service computes your high 3 on active duty and you then have to pay your FERS deduction for your rank and step. You will then be credited with your military time and will have 32 yrs at retirement which is more than enough.
@@federallawenforcementcaree9900 awesome thanks for the information! Great content so far, I'm really enjoying the insight. Can you do more on DEA, life at academy, average time to apply for SOD, average time on job to apply for overseas assignments? Just a thought. Thanks Deacon!
Funny thing is capital Police, DoD police ( Army, navy etc) even secret service UD are 0083s but some get favor because they're closer to the source of power lol
There are so many USSS agents who leave to go to other agencies. They become burned out from all the traveling. USSS is the best for anyone who puts money first, but it will strain families and quality of life
So pretty much all federal special agents/criminal investigators who have to join by 37 (with exceptions) qualify for the FERS LEO exception? FAMS, DSS, etc.

Good luck with the PT and all your other applications.

Some other covered positions: air marshals, most land management agents and officers, OIG's, Postal Inspectors, CBP air/marine
awesome info. journeyman for USMS is now GS13
Great. Thanks
They don’t go through CITP anymore.
Gold information, thank you sir!

Thank you so much! I’m a soldier and looking to either do 20 years or get out after 6-10 years and buyback into an 1811 position
Hopefully Congress passes H.R.962 - Law Enforcement Officers Equity Act it was just interduce.

USSS agents not only get LEAP, but overtime as well because of the protection mission.

They don’t get overtime, that’s why they get an 25%.
@@jdog0341, USSS agents get LEAP and also get overtime (for protection only).

Caught that little dig against UD. Typical 1811. “Do they do any heavy lifting, it is what it is.”

Are you sure about the U.S. Attorney's Office Investigators?

@@federallawenforcementcaree9900 Yes, the USAO employs Criminal Investigators that are 1811's, they work cases, make arrests, ect..

From most action to least action for special agents’ work, how would you rank the 1811 positions?
What about FPO
So pretty much all federal special agents/criminal investigators who have to join by 37 (with exceptions) qualify for the FERS LEO exception? FAMS, DSS, etc.
