Narcotics agents use a variety of techniques and resources, including but not limited to video surveillance, wiretapping, and K-9 units. They may work undercover to earn the trust of informants. Officers may work long hours in dangerous situations, may be required to handle firearms, and must be familiar with basic forms of self-defense. Stress management and physical fitness are also important parts of the job. Narcotics officers may find employment with local, state, and federal law enforcement and government agencies. Organizations that hire narcotics agents include the DEA, the Department of Public Safety, and the Bureau of Narcotics Investigation and Drug Control. Some narcotics agents work with K-9 units.

Many law enforcement agencies require a narcotics enforcement officer to have a two- or four-year degree, preferably with a major in criminal justice, police science, or criminology. In some states, certification is necessary to become a narcotics enforcement officer. In general, the hiring process will look something like this:

*Check with your potential employer for their particular narcotics officer job requirements.**Check with your state to see if certification is required.

Narcotics agents must go through mandatory training in the proper use of firearms, detection devices, and equipment, such as wiretap machines, used during investigations. Agents must also learn basic survival skills, how to find and nurture relationships with confidential informants, and how to identify common street and other drugs. Some organizations offer specialized training for narcotics agents at the local, state, and federal levels. The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), for example, provides training classes such as the Narcotics Supervisor Leadership Program and the Drug Unit Commanders Academy.

Narcotics officers must have effective communication skills with all types of people, possess the ability to gain the trust of sources, and have the physical and psychological ability to cope with stress on a regular basis. Officers must also be prepared to put themselves in dangerous situations and to deal with people from all walks of life.

Salary depends on the officer's rank, place of employment, experience, and education. In addition to regular pay, police officers typically receive an attractive benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision insurance. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the median pay for police officers and detectives was $62,960 per year as of 2017.1 The BLS projects that employment growth for police and detectives will be 7% from 2016 to 2026.1 Narcotics officers are included in these statistics.
