They do not hire straight out of high school. My advice, apply yourself to your studies, if you have a 3.0 GPA you can get in at GS-7 instead of GS-5. Look to take the BP test 6 months- a year before you graduate. You either need work experience or a 4 yr degree to get into the BP. They do not hire straight out of high school.

My goal is FBI agent, but having some kind of Law Enforcement experience is good. I’m about to be 18, and I was wondering if I could be in college AND work as a Border Patrol?

The unofficial motto is: you have to know your stuff before you take on an extra responsibility – although the official one sounds probably similar. I would inquire with your local Border Patrol Office, however don’t be surprised if they ask you if you’re available to relocate… like South.

My goal is to become a K-9 Handler for the the CBP. Where do I start? I live in Northern NY, five minutes from the Canada/U.S. Border. I saw the website for career listings, but none that specified the needs of Canine Handlers. Is there still a demand for that area in CBP? Thanks.

I mean at my last company, they paid for the movers, they offered help with closing costs and in some rare events, if you had a house to sell, in some cases they would buy your house from you. In this economy, that is a huge plus. I’m just worried that my family would be stuck at home trying to sell our house while I’m off somewhere else and what if our house didn’t sell???? Any info would be great. Thanks I am interested in the US Border Patrol but I’ve heard relocation is terrible.
