MPRI EMPLOYMENT - LAW ENFORCEMENT PROFESSIONALS (LEP) Brigade, Division, Corps – Level I

Please address the below described experience and skill set MPRI is seeking in your resume.  See instructions for submitting your resume at the end of this announcement.

Note:  The below description of the embedded LEP should not be considered a “contractual” job description in that this position, duties, and assignments can change to fit the needs of the mission.

MPRI is seeking to hire proven criminal investigators with extensive experience investigating traditional organized crime, Russian organized crime, terrorism, narcotics, and/or gangs.  Complex investigative experience as a lead investigator, or case agent, and experience on a task force is desired.  LEP must have a Top Secret (TS/SCI) security clearance.  For additional information on security clearance eligibility browse the Defense Security Service website. https://www.dss.mil/portal/ShowBinary/BEA%20Repository/new_dss_internet/index.html

LEP will be embedded, in uniform, as a vital member of the US Military unit.  They will be a highly skilled team consisting of experienced criminal enterprise investigators who will most likely serve as investigators, planners, advisors, or possibly, subject matter experts, and criminal information analysts in support of designated US Army and Marine units.  LEP can be assigned and embedded in any level within the Military organization:  corps, division, brigade, battalion, and regimental combat team staffs.  Operational concept is to augment the capability of supported HQs in attacking criminal networks through the employment of law enforcement techniques used to understand, identify, target, penetrate, interdict and suppress criminal enterprise and insurgent networks.

The environment in Iraq and Afghanistan can be extremely challenging and harsh; extreme heat in the summer and extreme cold in the winter. Your work schedule will be long and may continue 7 days a week.  As the average age of our hires approaches retirement or post retirement years (some are younger), it is all the more important to emphasize that the dangers and the mental and physical demands of this position are challenging.  Any physical concerns or other issues that would prevent you from successfully participating in this mission should be considered.

 Skill Set Criteria.  LEP personnel will possess the following attributes:

Your continued service for our country, the opportunity to use and stretch your talents, along with competitive salary and benefits, will be extremely rewarding.  All hires will be full time employees of MPRI with all pays and benefits. Base salary for Embeds is $175,000 per annum while in training and located outside of the theater of operations.  Theatre incentive pay totaling 70% of base will be added once deployed.  Leave accrues every two weeks and amounts to approximately 25 days a year.  The policy allows LEPs two paid 15 day vacation trips back home a year; one in each six month period.

The current information we have is that you may be assigned to a stateside Army or Marine Combat Unit in any of 50 states, or anywhere in the world, where there is a unit preparing to deploy to Afghanistan or Iraq.  However, it is possible that you can be assigned to a unit that is already deployed or deploying anytime after you are hired.  Bottom line is that being attached as a vital member of a military unit in war time, you must be prepared to be flexible and deploy at any time.  While assigned to your unit prior to deployment, you will work daily and develop a relationship as vital team member of that unit until your unit deploys. Assignments to stateside units can be for up to one year before deployment to Iraq or Afghanistan (Most deployments will be sooner).  During assignment stateside, you may have housing on base, but most are provided off base lodging and per diem at the government’s expense.  While assigned to a military base, a rental car may be provided for as long as the contract allows. 

You must be suitable for deployment and address any issues described below that may indicate that you are of “non-deployable” status.
