Which route would be best if I wanted to work for a federal law enforcement/ Intelligence agency?

I was thinking about applying to Army OCS, but I have flat feet and might not be able to handle it physically. Im fine with running, but the 10 mile ruck marches would probably get to me. So now I'm applying to law school, but still want the military experience so im looking at the Air Force reserves. I would like to do Intel. My question is, would I have enough time if I was in the reserves to attend law school and maybe work as a police officer? I know two of those things alone would be very difficult. Is this a good idea for federal jobs like the CIA or FBI? Or would it have been better for me to try and suffer through OCS for a commission? How do the air force reserves work? Any help would be great, thank you.Which route would be best if I wanted to work for a federal law enforcement/ Intelligence agency?
Reserve units are commonly deployed, which would inhibit anything else.



A Bachelor's degree is required for federal special agent positions (very few exceptions). Any responsible employment is acceptable, but law enforcement may be beneficial. Any major is acceptable, but Criminal Justice, Computer Science, Sociology, or Psychology may stand you in better stead. Those meeting the minimum requirements may not compare well to the best qualified applicants, and there are always more applicants than positions. The FBI likes lawyers and accountants, but they hire from various backgrounds, with at least 3 years of substantive employment (http://www.fbijobs.gov/). Other federal agency job announcements should be available at https://my.usajobs.gov/login.aspx.



The FBI in particular needs people capable of investigating major frauds and conspiracies involving numerous business and technical occupations and professions; whereas, local police are more oriented to street crime. Federal agents must be capable of understanding and communicating at a level above that usually expected from patrol officers.



Federal agencies are looking for people who fit in at all social strata, and the expectations are greater with regard to preparation of reports and affidavits. In my experience, state and local officers have their affidavits written by prosecutors; whereas, federal agents write their own.



I participated in an agency-sponsored Masters program (Customs Office of Investigation) that wherein the major was management, not CJ.



Being a military officer may be advantageous, and military service normally provides veteran preference in the hiring process. Being a practicing attorney or accountant would also place one in a good position. Forensic computer expertise is desirable in almost all agencies. Language capabilities are prized by all agencies.



You are more likely to be successful if you do not restrict yourself to one agency. Moreover, agents get hired from other agencies regularly. If you have proven yourself in one agency, you will have an advantage for FBI hiring. Being a police officer may be helpful, depending on personal performance and agency reputation.



I recommend that people major in psych and minor in CJ (even though I majored in CJ for a BS and PhD, with a Masters in management sponsored by Customs [on government time]). The academic specialization for a graduate degree is not necessarily important, but as I said, management was chosen by the agency I worked for.



GPA (above 3.5 is a plus), testing, physical fitness, work experience, possibly a polygraph, ability to communicate orally and in writing, and graduate degrees are what determine who gets hired. And, I repeat, there are always more applicants than there are positions.Which route would be best if I wanted to work for a federal law enforcement/ Intelligence agency?
I was drafted in 65 and had flat feet they had us on a march forgot how long it was but made it. Talk about luck everyone in the training cycle except two went infantry and off to Viet Nam. Jim and myself went into the Military Police and off to Korea.
