FDLE Special Agent pros vs cons
I’m a local LEO who is looking for some insight on FDLE. In my agency I’ve been stuck on patrol due to the friends and family group getting into the detective bureau. I’m looking into the feds, but I’m not too happy about the mobility agreement and picking up and packing every two years or so. What are some I honest opinions on FDLE. I know money isn’t the best.

At FDLE you will be exposed to "MOAB", Mother of all Bullshit when it comes to promotion, hiring, and day to day investigations. If you think what you are seeing at your Agency is bad, it's probably worse at FDLE. Just read through the posts on these forums.
Also, you mentioned you are stuck on patrol, and FDLE looks to hire experienced Detectives, not road deputies... so that will go against you.
Honestly, I'd be looking at another Agency that paid better that wasn't FDLE if I were you.

Yeah that a low case load, here average detective has about 20-40. Also even if I go get into the DB at my agency being a property detective isn’t all that exciting. I was halfway through the process with the Secret service but I withdraw aftering hearing how much traveling is involved and how unstable your life could be.
