Hello,

My name is Chris. I am a 19 year old college student. My major is criminal justice. I want to be a law enforcement officer, but I'm just not sure what kind yet. One of my instructors told me to check out the Diplomatic Security Service. Do you have any information that might help???

Chris,

Thank you for your question. The Bureau of Diplomatic Security (DS) handles security and law enforcement for the Department of State. DS special agents are federal law enforcement officers who serve in the US and overseas. They investigate passport fraud and protect the Secretary of State and other dignitaries, and they advise ambassadors about security concerns, etc. The selection process for DS special agents is very competitive, but DS special agent is an excellent position. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for the quick reply.

My uncle is a DS special agent. He loves it. He is always trying to talk me into applying for the job, but I want live somewhat close to my hometown.

DS Special Agent is a high speed, low drag, elite position!
