No where in the basic qualifications does it say that you must have law enforcement experience. (I saw that you posted this in the CBPO forum after I posted my response, just in case you thought I was trying to be a smart ass.)
In order to be eligible for employment with the CBP, applicants must:
•Be a U.S. Citizen.
•Have a valid driver's license.
•Have resided in the U.S. for at least 3 of the last 5 years (military exception).
•Be eligible to carry a firearm.
•Referred for selection prior to your 40th birthday (waiver for veterans' preference eligible or those that have previously served in a federal civilian law enforcement position).
•Be willing to travel; you will be required to travel frequently. This job may require extended domestic and foreign Temporary Duty (TDY) assignments.
•Pass the application process (see details below).
