I am in need of a job to say the least. I have a college degree in criminal justice / pre law from Seton Hall University. Graduated with honors and a citation for excellent grades. Deans list all four years and had A's in all of my major classes except for one where I received a B+ in disappointment.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated....

 

thanks

The uphill battle in LE is that many towns, mine included have residency requirements to take the entry level test. In many cases word of mouth is the best way to find who is looking to hire. Unfortunately my town has a requirement to live in the town prior to the testing.

 

Good luck with the hunt.

You might want to check out near by county prosecutors offices.

I know in Ocean county the prosecutors offices hires a couple new people in August/September since that is when new law clerks come in. Normally old law clerks get jobs at hte prosecutors office and i notice they hire a couple new investigators also.

 

 

Also NJSP are supposed to start recruiting next year if you can find something short term for now.

Look at USAjobs.gov the Federal government is always hiring LEOs, You would get a entry level and move from there. The DOD police hire as well as ICE and Customs. Its a good career. FBI and Secret Service both hire uniformed officers.

Once you log in and set up an account you get daily e-mails for opening you can look local or any where in the country. It can take time to get in though.
