The U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command is recruiting soldiers to serve as special agents.

Applicants must be at least 21 years old, have a maximum grade of E-5 (non-promotable) with between two and 10 years in the service, and be United States citizens.

Other requirements are: ST score of 107 or higher, or an ST of 110 if tested before Jan. 2, 2002; at least 60 college credit hours from an accredited institution, although a waiver for up to 30 hours may be considered; a physical profile of 222221 or higher; normal color vision; no record of mental or emotional disorders; a minimum of one year of military police experience or two years of civilian police experience, although a waiver may be given.

Applicants must be able to speak and write clearly, have suitable character established by a Single Scope Background Investigation leading to a top secret clearance, no record of unsatisfactory credit, and no civil court or court-martial convictions.

Special agents investigate Army-related felonies, conduct protective service operations, and work with other federal, state and local law enforcement agencies.

Agents train at the U.S. Army military police school and receive advanced training in specialized investigative disciplines. Selected agents receive advanced training at the FBI National Academy, Metropolitan Police Academy at Scotland Yard, Department of Defense Polygraph Institute, and the Canadian Police College.

Agents also can pursue a master’s degree in forensic science from George Washington University. Agents are required to complete 60 months of service after finishing the Apprentice Special Agent Course.
