Postal Inspector

Anyone happen to know off the top of their heads of a website that references training required for Postal Inspectors?

I'm pretty sure that they go for their basic CITP-type program in Potomac, Maryland.

I just need a website. Thanks!

The Career Development Division (CDD) of the Postal Inspection Service provides basic training for candidate Postal Inspectors, in-service training comprising refresher and specialized courses for all Inspection Service personnel, and certification for threat management instructors. Located at the William F. Bolger Center for Leadership Development in Potomac, Maryland, CDD's large campus offers the advanced features of an elite law enforcement training program, with dormitory, dining, classroom, fitness, and firearms facilities.

Inspector candidates undergo 13 weeks of scenario-based training that covers investigative techniques, defensive tactics, firearms, legal matters, search and seizure, arrest techniques, court procedures, postal operations and a detailed study of the federal laws over which the Postal Inspection Service has jurisdiction. Training focuses on problem-solving abilities, critical thinking, and cognitive skills. All candidate Inspectors must successfully complete academic, firearms, and practical exercises to graduate from Basic Training.

Upon successful completion of the program, new Postal Inspectors participate in four to six months of formal, post-basic training, designed and monitored by CDD and administered at an assigned Inspection Service field location. Post-basic training is administered by experienced Postal Inspectors and includes at least two weeks of assessed field training in each functional area for a minimum of 400 hours. New Inspectors spend a minimum of 200 hours in their initial assignment under the direct supervision of a team leader or senior Inspector. During the year, CDD successfully graduated four Inspector classes: on April 26, July 3, September 13, and November 1, 2002.

Hey thanks! I swear I went up, down, and all around the USPS website and I couldn't find anything about it.

I don't know about PayPal, but I can throw about 10k your way.... Rep points that is. :D

Thanks a bunch!

Well, I do love me some reputation.

I just did a google search for Postal Inspector Training Maryland, which led me to wikipedia, which did not have a good cite but did provide the name for the CDC. So I did a google search for the CDC, which led me back to the USPS website. I'm telling you, internal reports, IG reports, and other internal memos are a GREAT source of info for Fed Law Enforcement. They document EVERYTHING.
