Law Enforcement Careers For Retired Military

I've received emails from folks who have been separated for quite some time, or who have retired from the military recently, and ask what career options are out there for them.  This is a great story on that subject, coming from Montana... who wouldn't want to work with a view like that?  The man profiled, a retired Marine in his mid-40s, gets to see the great outdoors every day as a Montana Highway Patrolman.  He notes that he and the younger recruits taught each other a lot, and a Highway Patrol recruiter mentions what a good fit the career can be for retired military.  Keep it in mind in your searching and have a great week!

I'm wondering about possible Forensic Sciece careers. I'm a Veteran yet have a graduate degree in Chemistry. I'd like to do Forensic Analysis with, obviously, some law enforcement or homeland security, toxic substances, drugs, etc. department.

Hi Gregory,

Thank you for reading, for commenting, and for your service. The FBI and TSA attend our events and are solid fits. The DIA employment site is linked on MilitaryStars.com and should be looked into as well. Jobs for forensic science technicians are expected to grow much faster than the national average, according to this excellent link: http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos115.htm#addinfo

Thanks and best of luck!
