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?

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.

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

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.

detective,you need to have the right schooling and so many years on the force,to get .Your best bet is to become a bounty hunter for bail bonds.Each bail bonds have different requirements for the job,you'll have to find one and see what they are

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.

Yeah, it's called a Bounty Hunter.........

Bounty Hunter..

Sounds like you want to be a bounty hunter.
