The Blue Line: police opportunity monitor

...a monthly newsletter for public service job openings and a nice list of links to law enforcement sites and services. A sample listing of job openings is available on this site, but this is just a portion of what they send out to paying subscribers.

The monthly newsletters are here with articles and job openings, plus updates for the job announcements seem to appear about every 2 weeks. Subscribes can review the whole list or just look at the latest additions. Subscribers can sigh up for 6 months or 1 year, and there is a variety of ways to receive the newsletter and updates, although pricing differs depending if you want your info via email, standard first class mail, or fax. Future upgrades include salary surveys for various police departments and law enforcement agencies. Very good resource for law enforcement personnel looking for info and opportunities.

Fire Protection and Prevention

Do You Want to Be a Fire Investigator?
