I've noticed a few postings for the "Special Officer" position. Are there any former or current USSS personnel here who can provide input on this job beyond what's provided on SecretService.gov or the job posting itself? Is it essentially a UD officer who works in plain clothes and away from DC? Is it mostly fixed posts, driving, and managing equipment? What's the lifestyle and top pay of a special officer like? As for me, I'm an LEO in Southern California with 3.5 yrs (sworn) experience and working on a Masters in Criminal Justice/Homeland Security. I'm trying to get away from local politics and into the DHS. Your time and input is very much appreciated!
