Simona’s Answer

Hello Erick,

Training in this field is specific and technical in need. Some of the training for this career includes:

Active Shooter Threat

Forensics Techniques

Basic Tactics

Electronic Tracking & Surveillance

There is a variety of courses that can prepare you for a career in Immigration and Customs.

I am adding the website that lists all of the training needed: https://www.fletc.gov/training-catalog

Simona recommends the following next steps:

Look into this website and review the catalog of all courses

Talk to someone currently in a position and interview them to see if this is the direction you want to take

See if you can shadow someone in the career to see if this is what you want to do

Start to see how you can take some of the training now (until you can get into a formal training program for this)
