Figured I'd ask here before trying with the USAJobs sub due to how closely SA's work with IRS. Sorry this isn't strictly about 1811's.
I am in the pipeline for the DEA IRS; I've accepted a CJO and am just waiting to start security and pass the voo-doo box. I have no hesitations about the security part of the process as I adjudicate BI's and do similar work anyways. For context, I have no desire to be an 1811; No military or local LEO experience though I regularly work with local, state and federal law enforcement. In my current work, I deal with a lot of insider threat, targeted violence, and workplace violence in addition to adjudicating background investigations and granting, denying, and revoking security clearances. Everything I currently do is administrative in nature so report writing and justifying an action/non-action, and hurry up and waiting isn't something I am a stranger to.
I would love to hear insight about the nature of the work as a DEA IRS to include TDY/training opportunities, overseas travel/TDY opportunities (as an IRS) and about BIRS. I understand a lot of this will probably realllly depend on what office I am assigned, administrative priorities, etc. I would also like to know how does office selection work? The posting I am in the process for is listed as anywhere in the USA. The CJO didn't list a location and my POC didn't answer my question regarding office location.
