Let me tell you from experience that if you want to go into the Homeland Security field, you want to serve 4 years in the military. If you have the wherewithal to go to college, speak with a recruiter and join the military in an ROTC program. They may pay for your degree and you will get military experience.
I say this because the Federal Government will give the person with the military experience a greater consideration for employment than a person with a degree. A degree will give you a bit of an edge for raises and promotions within the Federal job. If you can get both, you have the best of both worlds.
Also, there are a lot of Federal Law Enforcement jobs that will be advertised directly to Active Military Personnel. Apply for them as soon as you see them. It can take over 3 years for the Federal Government to process an application. (The Federal Government moves at the speed of Bureaucracy.)
Trust me. I have a Graduate Degree in Criminal Justice, and I can't get hired. I will be in the que, but those with Military Service always edge me out in the hiring process.
Serving in the Military will give you experience (Airborne training, anyone?) and it will get you in shape and give you the discipline to really shine when you go through the Federal interviews.
Try to pick up a second language. Spanish or French stand out as popular languages for employment with BICE.

There are colleges out there that actually offer bachelor in homeland security, it will jump different subjects such as computer science, communications, political science, and criminal justice. The overall after all the subjects is a BS in Homeland Security. Law enforcement is only one aspect homeland security.

save up the combat. Doubt if it is going to do lots stable. we count upon the vote, yet even it incredibly is corrupt. There are people who say that Bush's 2000 election Victory replaced into unquestionable, yet over 10,000 eligible electorate in Florida, generally African-individuals, have been prevented from balloting for one reason or yet another. The chad undertaking replaced right into a ruse, a smoke show. on the instant, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Arizona, et al, have enacted restrictive voter regulations that have hearkened decrease back to the "Jim Crow" regulations, and the Bush Justice branch has signed off on them. This replaced into pronounced at length on PBS this previous week. while the vote is corrupt, what's left to do? i does not be so respectful of Regan, lots of this began below his administration.

Tomfoolery 101. Remember these are the same people who recommended you seal your house with duct tape in case of a nuclear explosion and fallout.
