Usms Deo

[JakeBP]

I have noticed that the Marshals Service is hiring deo's. Does anyone know if this maybe the quickest way into becoming an actual Deputy, or would it be better to wait on actual hiring for Deputies? If anyone has beneficial information on the Marshals Service's hiring it woul be greatly appreciated.

[Switchback]

Do a search. This has been covered.

The bottom line is that there is no direct progression from DEO to Deputy. Federal service is always beneficial, but nothing special coming from being a DEO. I know a few DEOs that have made the leap to Deputy. I also knwo a few that are rotting it out as a DEO. If you would not get the DUSM job without being a DEO, you likely won't get it as a DEO (if that makes sense).

Thanks, do you know of any upcoming hirings for the Marshals Service? I have tried to call a few recruiters but nothing. Any credible contacts?

Just check the US Marshal website regularly (and the forums). They're supposed to have future information sessions for the Federal Career Intern Program, but I don't know when. The districts that are participating are listed on the website as well. It's just a crapshoot as to when they'll open up again.

Stay away from this job if you aren't political, When you come in as a DEO depending on the districts you either will be treated "as one of us" or banished to the cellblock gulag.

have some deo's made deputy? yes, but you have to take a look on the when, where, why and how of it.

i know one DEO that worked for 7 years and was passed over for another guy with only two years experience and no college.
Meanwhile the guy they passed over has college, speaks three languages, highly intelligent, BUT..he isn't political.

also deo's go only to gs7 step 10..

you are better off going to ICE or to the Border Patrol. At least they are honorable jobs and you can look at yourself in the mirror

I will take a wild guess and say the person who was passed over was you....:rolleyes:

I know a guy who has been passed up several times (been on many years). He has a Master's, experience at INS before us, yadda, yadda, yadda. It's nothing political. He is the most social inept person I have ever met in my life. I hate to break it to you, but being a REAL LEO on the streets means you have to deal with people. This guy fires people up and then, those of us with any ability (to talk to them or force them into compliance) have to come in there and clean up. In this case, it is not a 1 time incident, but a recurring affair.

Also, I hate to break it to you but DETENTION Enforcement Officer is ALL cellblock and transport... so your little comment about being sentenced to the cellblock gulag shows how skewed your little outlook actually is. Why would anyone treat a DEO like any one of us (DUSM-1811). It's not the same job. We play on the same team, but it is not the same job. It's like treating the guy cleaning up the ER after the surgery the same as the doc who performed it. :rolleyes: Please! Take your cry-baby ranting somewhere else.

FWIW, most of us look at ALL of LE as an honorable job.... it jsut so h appens that not all of the LEOs in LE are honorable... and by the sound of you, I wouldn't wish you on BP or ICE, either. It would take more than a job to enable you to look at yourself in the mirror with your pathetic outlook on things.

I didn't know that USMS had DEO's.

INS had them now they're pretty much the IEA's.

[jvale00]

So is the job (DEO) that bad? I mena it may not have all the glory of the 1811 but it seems a respectable gig within the USMS! I mean after all, someones gotta do it!

[Switchback]

The pay is not that great, but the hours tend to be pretty cush. I don't think it is all that trerrible as long as you know what you are getting into... it is centered around cellblock operations and prisoner transport. Many DO get promoted, but there are no assurances.

I was in the Marshals Office last week in Atlanta. I was there to get finger printed again for my up coming BG investigation. A DEO took my prints. From what I could tell they are a kind of uniform branch of the Marshals they do all the grunt work. This DEO said it might help a little in getting on the Marshals but they have to apply like everyone else. He told me what I already know, is that if you don't know someone in the Marshals your not getting in. I got in (well I have a scheduled report date) only because of a private web site I found. They told me where and when the seminars really are and basically gave me most on the interview questions. I think the Marshals whole hiring process right now is BS. The site that helped me was for (URL deleted, pending further investigation).I would suggest using them or the DEO route. Do NOt wait a recruiter from the Marshals. It will never happen. If you have tried then you know what I'm talking about.

I guess you've found that badmouthing the agency you wish to work for is a good move as an applicant, huh? :rolleyes:

I still haven't received that PM I requested from you in the FCIP thread. If I see that website posted by you again prior to it's being vetted, you'll have a scheduled departure date from this site.

Something smells rotten here. If you have a report date, then your BI is done. No need for additional prints. What's the deal Wyattp?

This DEO said it might help a little in getting on the Marshals but they have to apply like everyone else.

There are in house merit promotions available to USMS personnel, to include DEO's, that the general public cannot apply for.

I just got hired by the Marshals after waiting 6 freak'n years on the list.

So what was your hiring source? FCIP, SS, open exam, inter-agency transfer...

...if you don't know someone in the Marshals your not getting in.

Certainly not the case with me or many of my peers.

...and basically gave me most on the interview questions.

Sounds shady to me.
