“Our thousand-meter target is to be the most impactful, purpose-driven, veteran-to-law enforcement employment initiatives the country has ever seen. We are ready to help bring more veterans to law enforcement.”
If you’re looking for direct access – you’re in the right place! VET-TO-LEO is a centralized information center for veterans who are participating in a transition assistance program, members of the National Guard and Reserves, or even those who have been out of the service for a while, to easily find law enforcement agencies who are committed to hiring them. We also centralized the programs for self-sponsoring as a non-affiliated recruit into an academy, to better your chances of being hired.
Special Assignments in Law Enforcement
Special assignments in law enforcement encompass a wide range of roles and responsibilities that go beyond the traditional duties of patrol. These assignments are often specialized and require additional training, skills, and expertise. Generally after 2-5 years of service in an agency, these opportunities will open up and become available to professionals that wish to further develop their careers. Examples of special assignments include SWAT teams, K-9 units, narcotics and vice investigations, cybercrime units, community policing initiatives, and crisis negotiation teams. Officers selected for these assignments undergo rigorous training to handle unique challenges and situations effectively. Special assignments not only enhance the capabilities of law enforcement agencies but also play a crucial role in addressing specific crime trends, protecting communities, and fostering positive relationships with the public.
