Do you qualify for TR-9?

With experience: You need one year of specialized experience at the TR-8/GS-7 level. This means law enforcement work involving laws and regulations, police operations, maintaining order, protecting life and property, and investigating crimes. Experience can come from public, private, or volunteer work, and your resume must list the employer, job title, dates, and supervisor contact information.

With education: This job has no education requirement.

Licenses and certifications you need:

• Valid state motor vehicle operator's license at appointment or within 90 days, kept valid while in the position

How to apply well

What to send:

• Resume of two pages or less with month, year, and hours worked for each job
• Answers to the online vacancy questions
• Veterans' preference documents, as listed in the applicant guide, if you claim it
• CTAP or ICTAP documents, if you are a displaced or surplus federal employee
• Transcripts, if appropriate
• FLETC training documentation (recommended)
• Most recent performance appraisal (recommended)
• List of awards, without copies (recommended)

How you will be rated: Your resume, online questions, and documents are reviewed first, and subject matter experts check your qualifications. Top candidates take a virtual structured interview on Microsoft Teams and are rated Superior, Good, or Acceptable. Your rating can be lowered if your online answers are not backed up by your resume, and insufficient resume evidence can lead to a not qualified result.

Tips for this job:

• List the month, year, and hours worked for each job on your resume, along with supervisor contact information, or the experience may not count.
• Keep your resume to two pages, because longer resumes are removed from consideration.
• Be ready for a virtual structured interview on Microsoft Teams about past experience or hypothetical situations.
