Washington Dc For A Nation Youth Leadership Forum On National Security

Have you ever thought about having a job that was just completely perfect for you? Like, it fits your personality perfectly? Well, being a DEA agent is mine. I love the thought of it. And I plan on telling you everything about it. And take my word for it, it’s pretty interesting. A DEA agent is top tier in law enforcement and are responsible for taking down the most notorious crime boss’ in history, such as Pablo Escobar and Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, who both wound up running 2 of the largest cartel drug rings in the world. And that is exactly what I want to be.I’ve been reading about this career for a long time, and it seems pretty interesting. I can tell you about the job, the wages, the requirements, and the risks and some

I chose the Federal Bureau of Investigation for my career choice. According to the Mission and Priorities page on the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s website, the purpose of the Federal Bureau of Investigation or FBI is to, “Protect the American people and uphold the Constitution of the United States (“Mission & Priorities”, n.d.). The FBI ensures this specific purpose by completing the following: “protect civil rights, combat transnational/national criminal organizations and enterprises, combat major white-collar crime, and combat significant violent crime” (“Mission & Priorities”, n.d.). As of right now, “the FBI has around 35,000 employs which includes special agents and support professionals” (“Mission & Priorities”, n.d.).

On October 14, 2012, ATF Public Information Officer Alexandria Corneiro and ATF Special Agent Whitney Hameth, came to speak to our class about The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, also known as ATF. They began by introducing themselves and explaining to us the geographical area in which ATF is responsible for. As of right now their field office is in Dublin Ca.; however, they are responsible for ATF field offices in all Northern California, as well as, Nevada. The main ATF Headquarters is in Washington, DC., and there are field offices stationed throughout the United States. ATF trains and employ special agents to investigate violations of Federal Law involving alcohol, tobacco, firearms, explosives and arson. This profession commands a certain type of individual; therefoe, one must be in outstanding mental and physical shape; in addition, train rigorously, to, operate in stressful situations.

“To budget is to fight over money and the things money buys” (Document A). The federal budget is adjusted every year and has to follow certain criteria set forward by the Preamble to the Constitution. The Preamble sets five goals that the budget must fulfill, these goals are: to establish justice, to insure domestic tranquility, to provide for the common defence, to promote the general welfare, and to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our prosperity. Furthermore, it is difficult to decide what clusters of the federal budget to allocate money to in order to meet the five goals of the Preamble which are “The Big Five”, “The Middle Five”, and “The Little Guys.” In each of the three budget clusters,

Last semester I was in India with a study abroad program sponsored by the State Department. The National Security Language Initiative for Youth (NSLI-Y) was created in part to learn languages not often spoken in the United States but also to create cross cultural education and understanding.

Becoming an FBI agent takes dedication; the special agent selection is a mentally and physically challenging process designed to find only to find only the most capable applicants. However, those who make it through the process become part of an elite team that keeps our country safe. It is very important for the agents to have confidence in themselves before applying for the job. Working for the FBI is not only prestigious but

After making it to Rose & Dobyns, I told the receptionist that I was there to see Blaise Underwood and she told me to take a seat. I took a seat and observed the office, noticing that there was a copy of the constitution on the wall, as well as fake plants, a toy set for kids and some nice comfortable seats. I was soon greeted by a tall, bearded man who was not wearing a suit and tie as expected. I shook his hand, entered his office and began the interview quickly. He told me that he originally wanted to be in the FBI or DEA when he graduated from the University of Cincinnati. In his opinion, you can only get to that level of Law enforcement by having a law degree or many years of police work under your belt. He clearly did not have years of police work, so he decided to major in criminal justice then pursue a J.D. at the University of Dayton. He, however, did not make through the FBI’s very selective application and process and

I interviewed my office’s law enforcement fellow Special Agent Alice Jessica Campbell of the DEA. She is originally from Galveston, TX. Due to her extensive background in boarder security she was attached to our office to provide insight into drug and border policy. She splits time between DC and El Paso. She stared her career in the Houston office before transferring to the El Paso division where she work mainly on Mexican drug trafficking, heroine specifically. She just began her attachment to out office in January and is assisting us with current homeland security budget and bill relating to drugs, heroin in particular, and boarder security. In Houston and El Paso she worked quite frequently with ICE, ATF, and the FBI in particular. Now that she is here in D.C. she spend a great deal of time with the other Law Enforcement Liaisons and congressional delegations. She graduated from Baylor University with a Criminal Justice degree. Throughout her schooling she knew that she wanted to join a federal law enforcement agency but wasn’t sure until she got an internship with the DEA. That internship solidified the agency she really wanted to join. She was hired post 9/11 so the agencies relationship with homeland security was already in full swing. But she cited 9/11 as a major factor in her decision to follow a federal law enforcement track instead of her original plan to become a lawyer. Her job relates very much with Homeland Security as Mexican drug cartel have been found to

Federal Agents have many duties and can specialize in a vast array of different areas. “As an FBI Special Agent you may work on issues the encompass terrorism, foreign

Working with other branches of law enforcement is key, including coordinating federal, state, and local drug enforcement efforts. Along with this comes participating in undercover operations and tracking/arresting suspected criminals. These efforts allow the agent to be involved with the process from the opening of the investigation to the final arrest.

My interest in attending the Future Agent in Train program is that in my future, I will be trying to apply to the FBI academy in Quantico. The FBI has always been a hidden interest to me. Solving cases and protecting the U.S. is something I wanna do. I was introduced to this by video games, TV shows, books, and movies in our society today. As a kid, I’ve always gravitated towards crime solving games or crime fiction literature. I would ask questions about the cases being solved and I made sure to listen to every word or read every word so I wouldn’t miss evidence. I personally want to be able to experience in life what I’ve been playing and seeing for many years. What I hope to achieve from this program is being able to answer the question

Every organization, both large and small, will typically have a well-defined set of values that they wish to espouse. This is the template for a successful, trained work force. These values will guide individuals during the decision-making processes that they will encounter. This blue print helps to ensure the integrity of the company and the individual, as well. Our Army today is no different. We can find our values and creeds everywhere we turn. One quick trip to a company or battalion headquarters will yield all the information a Soldier ever needs to assist them in making ethical choices. We hang posters touting the seven Army values on every wall. Units will prominently display the

The first step to creating the federal government budget is the President submits a budget request to Congress. The executive branch gets requests from the federal agencies saying that different things and projects need money or that they don’t need money. So basically they discuss what project is more important. Yet these are all only proposals so they can either be accepted or denied depending on what the people think the country needs.

Values are intangible things that are important to us, and that guide us, individually, to make decisions. Each person has a different set of values, morals, and ethics, which is the reason that each person handles a situation differently. Here, I will discuss my top 5 values, and why they are important to me.

First and foremost are the Air Force core values. The core values of the Air Force are, integrity first, service before self, and excellence in all we do. Living by these values set up individuals and the Air Force for success. Doing what is right when no one is looking regardless of personal feelings or distress, completing a task even when it is time to go home, and doing it correctly the first time are basic examples of the
