General Investigation
5 open positions in this category
Investigators in the 1810 series conduct non-criminal investigations: administrative misconduct, program fraud and abuse referred for civil or administrative action, background and personnel security inquiries, and oversight reviews of how programs are run. The series differs from the 1811 criminal investigator series, whose agents carry firearms and make arrests; 1810 investigators interview witnesses, examine records and write reports but are not law enforcement officers. Listings here have come from Offices of Inspector General, the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys, U.S. Pacific Fleet and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Recent listings have included investigators, an administrative investigator, a supervisory investigator leading an oversight branch and an ICE investigator posted as an O-5 billet.
Applying tip: 1810 is experience based and rated on the kinds of investigations you have conducted, so describe the allegations, the methods, interviews, records analysis, report writing, and the outcomes, not just a job title. O-5 billet refers to a U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps rank; check who the announcement is open to. The application timeline guide explains what follows submission.
