PUBLIC NOTICE- DEA Criminal Investigators

for prose and

for lists. The instruction: Use
• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. So for requirements we have a list of conditions; we can make a

  . For process phases also a list. Could combine? Might be messy. Better to separate: maybe a

  intro then

  for conditions, then another
  for process phases. But instruction says use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't forbid multiple lists. So we can have multiple
    sections. Thus Requirements section: maybe a

    intro: "Conditions of employment:" then

    with items: U.S. Citizenship Required; Must be able to obtain and maintain a Top-Secret security clearance; Each applicant will be reviewed individually to agency suitability policy... etc. Then another
    for "Applicant Availability" with phases. But we need to keep all details verbatim. Let's extract conditions list from text: - U. S. Citizenship Required. - Must be able to obtain and maintain a Top-Secret security clearance. - Each applicant will be reviewed individually to agency suitability policy. - Upon completion of this review, the DEA will decide, if any additional clearance will be required. - Must sign a mobility agreement that confirms your understanding and agreement to accept relocation to any location depending on the needs of the DEA. - This position requires the completion of a pre-employment medical clearance and annual medical examination. - A full-scope pre-employment polygraph is required. - 1811 Applicants who have previously completed and passed a polygraph examination with their current or former agency, may seek reciprocity with the DEA during the hiring process. - Selective Service: Males born after 12/31/59 must be registered or exempt from Selective Service (see http://www.sss.gov/) - Applicant must be at least 21 years of age and not older than 36 at the time of application, unless you are a preference eligible veteran or a current, or previously served in a Federal civilian law enforcement retirement covered position. - Successfully pass the E-Verify employment verification check. - Selectee will be required to serve a 1-year or 2-year trial period, as appropriate, during which we will evaluate your fitness and whether your continued employment advances the public interest. - This position requires that the incumbent must possess and maintain a valid state driver's license. - Incumbent is subject to random drug testing. - Individuals are required to successfully complete a 16- week basic agent training (BAT) course held at the DEA Training Academy in Quantico, Virginia. Also note: "Special Agent Transition Program" for those with prior training: 3-week program. That's also a condition/training alternative. Should include. Thus include: "Special Agent Transition Program: Current or former 1811 applicants who have successfully completed a Federal Criminal Investigation training program through another federal law enforcement agency may qualify for a 3-week Special Agent Transition Program (FLETC/CITP Transcripts must be attached)." Now applicant availability process phases: - Phase 1: Physical Task Assessment (PTA) – description. - Phase 2: Proctored Testing – Writing Assessment at proctored testing center; competencies measured. - Phase 3: Basic Qualification Review – resume review; may exclude if self-ratings higher than supported; preview assessment questions link. - Phase 4: Structured Interview – competencies evaluated. Also note: "Current or former 1811 applicants who have successfully completed a Federal Criminal Investigation training program through another federal law enforcement agency, may be considered for an abbreviated hiring process." Location Availability: "The agency is currently prioritizing the filling of positions in border locations, and location availability is limited. While every effort will be made to accommodate preferences, location assignments will ultimately be determined based on the needs of the agency." Spanish Language Skill: "Applicants who possess proficiency in the Spanish language (speaking, reading, and writing) are strongly encouraged to apply. Spanish language skills are highly desirable in support of DEA's mission to disrupt and dismantle transnational criminal organizations, particularly in investigations involving Latin America, the Southern Border, and international partnerships. Spanish language proficiency may be assessed during the hiring process. Applicants who indicate proficiency may be required to complete a language assessment." Basic Agent Training: Already covered in conditions; but also note that those without prior training must attend 16-week residential training. We could include location availability and Spanish language skill as separate
    items under Requirements. Now Qualifications: detailed eligibility for GL-07 and GL-09 levels. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract.
