Looking to make a career change and this seems interesting.

I'm a former police officer from two large municipal departments. Some FBI certs, history of training/instruction, background in safety, background in investigations and some intelligence analysis.

Seems like the pay is decent, but nothing to get excited about. This would be an entirely civilian gig with the likes of major banks (Cap One, Chase) or insurance groups (USAA, etc.).

Anyone here have any insight? Certs to acquire prior to application? Pros/cons?

Thanks in advance.

From my understanding you only need a pulse to work at capital one.

I have my Certified Fraud Examiner's certification. It's definitely helps.

Is there one piece of source material or a preferred issuer of that cert? I'd like to explore securing it on my own if I could, unless it requires sponsorship from an employer.

Presently I'm in outside sales with a touch of project support. I feel like there is more horizontal growth than vertical and I'd like to stack the deck if I can.

I actually taught a Spanish for narcotic interdiction course briefly. Never worked with them, though. We did a lot of command/control phrases, danger phrases, and so forth.

www.acfe.com is the association over it. It's been years since I took it. I don't think you need a sponsorship to take the test, but I believe I needed something from my employer afterwards to obtain the certification. The books are about $800 and the test is in four parts. The website has a good bit of information on it.

This. You'd probably have better luck finding something with the regulatory agencies. From what I've seen, most BSA officers at banks are internal hires from either audit or deposit ops. Also, the type of work you'd be doing at banks is mostly very mundane (following up on CIP exceptions, CTR reporting, etc.).
