Not the most stringent requirements to apply, which answers a lot of the subsequent behaviour.

SALARY UPDATE:

ICE, like most federal agencies, utilizes the GS federal pay scale. Individuals working as ICE Agents begin at a pay grade that directly reflects their education and experience, although most new ICE agents begin at GS-5 which, as of 2012, was between $27,431 and $35,657.

GS-5: $27,431-$35,657
GS-6: $30,577-$39,748
GS-7: 33,979-$44,176
GS-8: $37,631-$48,917
GS-9: $41,563-$54,028

HSI special agents are usually offered at the GL-7 and GL-9 level.

To qualify at the GS-5 level and receive the equivalent salary, candidates must either possess a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university or at least 3 years of general experience.

Aren’t LEOs paid much better? To accept lower salaries, either you live the job or you can’t find anything else.

    Be a shame if thousands of people applied and talked the Nazi talk, only to drag out the hiring process and make ridiculous demands in wage/benefits negotiation. Worst case scenario, they actually agree to the demands, you take the job, and sabotage their ops from the inside.

    Big surprise. I mean a subway employee gets more training becoming a sandwich artist. Cops and such are dumb as shit!

    “moderate to arduous physical exertion involving walking and standing, use of firearms and exposure to inclement weather.”

    I wanted to join the Schutzstaffel but I don’t think I can take such arduous physical exertion.

    No test because they are hiring current law enforcement. So an applicant would already have gone through police training and testing, how inadequate that may be.

      That’s the question. Is the training and testing adequate? Do they redo psych profiles on the candidates? Doesn’t appear so.
