Is there a law enforcement job where you are assigned a criminal and have to locate, and arrest him?




I want to go into law enforcement but i don’t want to just do things like highway patrol and stuff. I would rather be used exclusively for finding criminals like serial killers and rapists and things. If there is a job like this, what is it called, and what do you have to do to get it?

    Some agencies have warrant service teams or units - but they are typically the larger ones.

    Warrant service in smaller agencies is done by beat officers/investigations/tactical officers.

    Most are actually served on traffic stops.

    These units are usually assigned under investigations - they are lateral assignments - and usually require no special skills.

    You have to start at the bottom like everybody else. If you are interested in forensics, you need some scientific background.

    Once you become a cop, you have to learn to handle the street. Once you can handle the basics, you can move on to more specialized things.

    Unless you take a job as a civilian employee assisting with investigations, you have to start from the bottom.

    Try FBI and State Police

    That’s what I do.

    It is called ‘Fugitive Apprehension’. I’m part of a Task Force and our main objective to to apprehend wanted persons.

    It is not a job you just ‘get’. It is something that you have to have several years experience and with an agency that has such a position.

    Good luck… I love what I do.

    That area of law enforcement is called the fugitive apprehension unit or fugitive task force. Not all agencies have them. The U.S. Marshall’s are probably the best known.
