- This video provides an overview of federal series 0083 (police) training and includes the training programs for the Capitol Police, DOD, Supreme Ct and BIA uniformed officers. Compares their academy training to state/local and provides an overview of what new hires can expect.
When I worked at FLETC Artesia it was called Mixed Basic, BIA really does their own thing and remember once when a new BIA class was coming in, had to send 2 recruits out to the range to get weighed in on the brass scales.
How does it work if you have food allergies?
Easy now lol we natives come in all shapes and sizes. 😂 looks like I’m headed to this academy after 20yrs of tribal security and about to transition the dept to police. Hope I do as well as I did in the state police academy over a decade ago.
Also those in California who are 0083, y’all need PC832 training, state of California POST course, before you assimilate state code. Also that training course would enable 0083 in California to be considered “peace officers” according to state law.
Currently a city cop here in south Mississippi; however, really want to relocate to CA preferably the Bay Area. Just applied to several VA Police openings advertised on USA Jobs listed out there and saw the PC832 requirement.

As someone who spent 25 years as a State Police Trooper and attended FLETC UPTP after my retirement (working on my second gov't retirement check.....lol), I agree with most of your assessments about FLETC. I went through FLETC UPTP in my mid 50's and had no issues at all with the PT or academics. I work for the Dept of Navy Police (GS-0083) and we have no supplemental academy training after FLETC. Since all the UPTP instructors are mostly retired LEO's, I had no issues with them as they tend to cut a little slack to fellow LEO retirees. I went to FLETC Artesia which was fairly tolerable considering the 2020 pandemic.

Hey boss I’m currently a border patrol agent and I just applied for a supervisor position with the Navy police. Can I pick your brain a little bit ?
@@holdthedoor4693
Um...ok.

Understaffed tremendously. Plenty of OT available since we work alongside Navy MA's and they're understaffed as well.
One of the best if not the BEST channels out there on CZcams with some serious quality content.
Great stuff, thanks for your efforts in all of the videos you've provided. I hope your channel continues to grow strongly.
Wish they had a bridge course for those who have either state POST and/or FLETA accredited academies under their belts. Save me fricking time. Yeah it’s a good cert to have but it’s like basic… it’s basic…
The Department of Army Civilian Police and Marine Corps goes to Ft Leonard Wood for their academy. It's 10 weeks for the Army and I believe 15 weeks for the Marines. You will only fail if you don't have good study habits for Law week and dont qualify at the range. You do get some chances to retake. Other than that, the goal is to pass everyone like the gentleman was saying in the video. The VA Academy was accurate but way more academic too. I went through both of these academies. It's a basic academy but you learn more in the field.
I am a prior Fort Worth Police Officer, Military Police and Navy Police Reserves. I am now in Extradition and later want to apply for FPS.
The 7-Cities each have their own police/sheriff's academy and there is the Hampton Roads Regional Academy for university police officers and state certified peace officers.
I was a cop in Virginia and it's multiple academys northern Virginia academy and alot of departments have there own in Virginia I am currently federal now
Did you go through FLETC? If so how was it. I’m currently a LEO in VA and am looking to go federal.
Any FED law enforcement agencies that don't attend FLETC in Georgia??
Postal inspectors supposedly don't attend FLETC
Thanks for the info! Wow, that was really informative dude. Can't thank you enough
A couple of things from this video. I went through UPTP and graduated March of 2021. 1.) Not everyone that is sent through UPTP passes any "PT test" to go to FLETC. My agency didn't require me to pass a PT test. 2.) Some agencies will require you to pass the PEB at what ever percentage. No FLETC itself does not require you to pass the their PT test (the PEB). My agency just require me to participate. The PT in UPTP is not that hard, you just have to show a effort. 3.) UPTP is not, I repeat, not paramilitary. The only thing you do is call people sir that is it. Some agencies in UPTP requires their employees to march everywhere, that is on them and not a requirement. 4.) not every agency have agency add on's (more training required after UPTP). My agency doesn't have a agency add on. I graduated from FLETC and went into the FTO program by at my place of employment.
Which dept are you with?

@@jdog0341 hey the week is almost up and my Results from my psychological exam was delivered to the agency on Monday I was recommended for hire by the psychologist by haven't heard anything from my agency and it's Friday is this a bad sign?
@@asimdillard8956 No, just remember the feds run at snails pas. Just give it a little bit.
@@jdog0341 oh ok it's strange because it was going so fast it all I have left is the equip and medical exam
A video on the federal protective service would be enlightening!
Are you a vet? They only hire vets.
@@jdog0341 really?? Interesting.
@@xxsomesadkidxx yes.
FPS only hires veterans, usually with a campaign metal, and if you have a 30% or more military disability rating you get additional points. hiring is a long process, but you can be placed anywhere in the U.S. Numbers right now are actually low but they have some key areas that, if you volunteer, they will pick you up faster. academy is at FLETC, GA for a durations at 6 months (3 basic police academy, 3 additonal training). Once you get to your duty station you do 3 months of field training. As an FPS inspector you wear many hats. You are a Police officer, yet you also do a lot of physical security work (knowing all security aspects of federal buildings and countermeasures.) this all depends on what state/ area you get assigned to and what Mutual aid agreement you have with your local/state police departments.
@@alexgoot8488 do they hire non-vets with local PD experience?
Roanoke City PD in Roanoke Va have their own academy.
Hey sir, absolutely appreciate your videos. I understand you are planning a video on the special agents academy. If you ever get the chance can you cover what courses they cover at the U.S. Marshal academy? Or provide a link to such information? Thank you again for the videos, chunked full of info.
Will do.
@@federallawenforcementcaree9900 thank you sir
Thank you for this video it really helpfully. I apply for two federal jobs
Anything on HSI
I accepted a position with USCP and my academy starts on Nov 15th. I actually took this job over BPA because I'm 38 yrs old and wanted a more desirable work location. I am still in the pool for CBP as well and was wondering how different are the Academies in terms of difficulty. I am still interested in CBP and I am still considering taking CBP if they call me during USCP training. Would most consider CBP better than USCP or vice versa?
Interested in CBP as well.
The academies are all different. The same academy experience might be different or the net class because they swap the instructors sometimes. The academy for customs if more relaxed than something like border patrol because of the duties you will be responsible for in the end. Border patrol you encounter strangers out and about kind of like working as a Police Officer. At the ports of entry, everyone is on their best behavior because they want ro be let in to the states so customs tends to be more relaxed. But I would say to stay with the capital police because it would be less taxing on the body. I work along side cbp as a security contractor and I see how miserable they are at cbp. Most officers work 16 hour shifts and are rotating every hour from post to post on the port as pat of the anti corruption initiative. Most of the customs officers I met work 6 days a week and very long hours. Most of the posts require tou to stand. The only times you sit is when you are operating the computers on the primary or secondary inspection line for pedestrian visitors. If it's automobile you will stand all day in pre primary, primary and secondary. You will stand at the x ray machine, if you are k9 you will constantly be walking the "In" traffic line. And real quick, don't disclose dates or locations about your academy. OPSEC is huge, especially right now when law enforcement has a huge target painted on it back. Don't give a nut job the ecuse to make sure you don't make it there. Stay safe and good luck.
What did you end up doing?
I agree I’m with DOI-BIA OJS and we are the only Federal Agency that does police work. Go to violent calls, get into pursuits and have to write warrants, criminal complaints and do investigations.
@@andrewperez9283 what does DOI- BIAOJS stand for?
My research came up with Department of Indian Affairs
Good afternoon, I previously was in the Marine Corps infantry from 2012 to 2021 and transferred to a Military Police unit in the National Guard. Currently I am still classified as an infantryman and am awaiting to attend the Military Police school later this year to gain the MP MOS designation. I have applied for multiple civilian DOD Police job openings on USA jobs but have never been selected or even given a response. What are the chances of landing one of the DOD Police jobs after getting the Military Police certificate?
Like anything else, it depends on the hiring needs of the agency and whether they will accept any other police academies. Most of the time, you have to go through their academies. So, your chances may be high or low just depending on the needs of the agency.
Go VA POLICE...TOO EASY
DoD police except for DoN go to there own service training academy; IIE DACP at Ft. Leonardwood, MO. There is no DoD police any more. Lt Lattimer Department of the Army Police. poli
Larger department academies are generally far superior to state academies. (Not including state troopers)
Thank you
can you have company and visitors on the weeknd ?
No. FLETC is highly controlled who comes and goes. The only time visitors will be allowed is for graduation.
Great video sir! I'm new to your channel and not sure if anyone has mentioned this in your comments but Fairfax County PD and Prince William County PD both have their own academies.
This channel is really only about federal law enforcement.
What about DHS FPS Police (Federal Protective Service) do they follow the same guidelines?
Awesome 👏
Do you know if the Dept of the Air Force police going to FLETC for their academy? I heard something about them going to Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri
The Department of Air Force goes to Little Rock Arkansas. The same location as VA Police but different academies. It's 12 weeks I believe.
Alright sir why not train every law enforcers in survival escape resistance and evasion
do the deputy marshals and DEA agents train at the same place?
No. Marshals train at FLETC at Glynco GA. DEA is at Quantico VA.
Currently in school , my question is we’re in how to apply for the academy what steps to take to join the academy , current in school getting my BA
See USAjobs.gov ... OPM.gov helps too. Pay scales, pay rates.
are you still active sir? would love to email you a question.
Do you know what kind of specialized training DOD police have and how long that is?
They usually don't disclose that information unless you are an actual candidate. If you find a position on USAjobs, it will give you the basic run down. But if you javelin ever been an MP in the military in any branch, it is similar to that. Remember, all federal police agencies can only enforce federal laws not local. If you want to do cop things you should join a local police department where you can enforce local, state and federal laws. The pay is less, retirement is bot as great but you will be a cop doing cop things. There is a difference between the cops and the police. It generally means the same thing but the fbi can be the "police", so can CBP, DEA, etc. But only local law enforcement can be cops. Cops are the ones who show up when you call 911. The police is anyone who enforces any kind of law.
I just saw a position for a department of army opening today. It said training was at FLETC and 10 weeks long.
It was DOA position stationed at Army Blue Grass Depot in Richmond, KY.
Currently in the hiring process for USCP. Really want to pursue the position but I would have to relocate. Any suggestions on where to live in the DC area? Would be Moving from the NY/NJ area.
Yes Bowie, upper Marlboro area is nice also stay out of land over,suitland anywhere se dc Alexandria is a good area only 10-15 min away from the Captiol Maryland is more like 20 min area but more suburbs again upper Marlboro, Bowie area
Are VA police cadets allowed to visit home during the weekend?
Yes, but is on your own dime. VA Police goes to LETC in little rock, Arkansas.
Other federal law enforcement goes to FLETC in Georgia
Do you happen to know if the training is all the same for all agencies like specifically National Park Service Police or are they put through different training?
Most federal uniform police agencies go through UPTP (Uniform Police Training Program i.e. NSA Police, CIA Police Capital Police). While people working for the National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management and US Forest Service all go through (Land Management Police Training Program which is like 4 weeks longer then said program about). Some of the training is the same while, some of the training is different.
For all the smaller federal "police" agencies the basic training is the same. Think of it like the military, you all graduate boot camp but then all go your own seperate ways to learn your specialty. All the federal police agencies will send you to their desired location for police training. Once you graduate that, you go to their specific location for indepth specialty training. Once that is done you get sent to your post and they put you on probation where you complete on the job training.
@@enriquefuentes7697 This was a great explanation thank you!
what about VA POLICE they are federal police just not covered under the 6C coverage yet they want to try to get that so is this stuff still apply kind of VA police dont go FLETC they go to LETC
What???? Most federal uniform police agencies do not have 6C coverage. From what I understand, LETC is not as good as FLETC (UPTP is longer).
@@jdog0341 VA POLICE to name one but honestly just because you go to FLETC doesn't mean your training carries over to LOCAL / State LEO agencies more than likely only some will carry if any at all and that at lateral transfer but you have to pass an exam etc per state you fail your training wont be any good then you will have to go to their basic police academy so unless you plan to stay federal life time think about it
@@peter.vanburen All ready knew that. I have already had been through a local academy as well. If you transfer to another uniform federal police agency from the VA, you will have to attend UPTP.
So i was talking to a fps officer is it true that you hace to be a CAB prior military to apply? According to them you do anr have to have college points/degree
College yes, CAB no
No and no. FPS hires mostly veterans. Their hiring events are usually in military installations.
Non vets can get hired, reach out to a recruiter.
@jessie yes your right the do hire from military installations mostly ive been to one. THEY HARDLY EVER show up tho. College is not required and they did change the application to where you do NOT need to have a cab. Find a recruiter they will let you now that. Just make sure your fit to pass FLETC. There are 2 types of fps FPS officer that has no college and FPS inspector college degree required or min. Of credits.
@@erictellocosta4655 While they hire from military installations there is no need to attend a hiring event. You can simply send a recruiter an email to start the process. They also hire vets and non-vets as well.

@@asimdillard8956 can I ask why not??
@@ashandemi they are very short staff you have to wait a very time before you go to training but they still alow you to work before then but will not be able to carry your gun until after you get certified at the academy and by the way is only 3weeks long not enough training for a law enforcement position
@@asimdillard8956 ohh wow. My only issue would be the training. I live in Texas so I’d have to stay in a hotel, I’m also a mom so I’d need to bring my daughter and someone to babysit with me, idk if they’d allow that
