MPRI Embedded Law Enforcement Professional (LEP) Program

 

MPRI is seeking to hire current or retired law enforcement personnel as embedded Law Enforcement Professionals (LEP) to serve in Iraq or Afghanistan. You must have exceptional experience investigating gangs, narcotic violations, organized crime, criminal networks, terrorism, and/or violent crimes. Candidates must have strong verbal and written communication skills.

 

Security Clearance Requirement

 

LEPs must have the ability to obtain a SECRET security clearance, or for related positions, TOP SECRET/SCI. 

 

LEP Background

 

LEPs have been embedded as vital members of the US Military. As a highly skilled team consisting of experienced criminal enterprise investigators, LEPs served as investigators, planners, advisors, and subject matter experts in support of designated US Army and Marine units. LEPs have transferred their law enforcement experience from investigating criminal suspects and networks in the US to investigating the insurgency in Iraq and Afghanistan. The military has credited the LEP program with significant contributions in targeting, capturing, and prosecuting criminals and insurgents which has led to increased community stability and saving Soldiers’ lives.

 

The mission in Iraq and Afghanistan is physically and mentally demanding. The weather is harsh and, depending where you are located, there can be extreme heat in the summer and extreme cold in the winter.  The work schedule can be seven days a week and averages 12 to 16 hours a day. You must consider a 12 to 15 month commitment and any health or physical issues that would prevent you from successfully completing this mission.  While employed on this mission, there are several possibilities regarding your assignment:

 

1.      After an eight day orientation in Virginia, and a seven day suitability certification process at Ft. Benning, Georgia, LEPs may deploy immediately to Iraq or Afghanistan.

 

2.      LEPs may be assigned to an Army unit stateside for 60 to 90 days preparing to deploy to Iraq or Afghanistan.  

 

3.      LEPs may be assigned to a stateside Marine Corps unit for up to six months before deploying for approximately seven months to Iraq or Afghanistan. Some Marine LEPs deploy immediately after training in Virginia.

 

Note: The LEP program continues to grow; however, in the Defense contracting industry, there are no guarantees regarding length of assignments, theater placement, or future employment. In addition, there are no guarantees regarding future employment with MPRI.

 

The leave policy allows for two paid 15 day vacation trips back home during the year.  Benefits are very competitive.
