How could I become a nark (undercover narcotics agent)?

Begin with applying at a police agency that has such a program. All officer start as patrol officers. Once you have done some time as a patrol officer you can apply for the position. As a patrol officer focus on developing informants and learn about drugs, cost, trade, writing search warrants. The part not seen on TV is many hours behind a desk doing research and writing search warrants. Another big head ache is dealing with flaky and unreliable informants. Check your local city and county police agencies. "Narks" also may be fall under the special investigations unit as detectives.

You need to be a police officer first, work your way up and then after several years, apply for a position either within your agency or within the state, county or region that you work. If you go the federal route, (DEA) you need to first meet their hiring requirements which are on their website.

It is not as glamorous as you would expect.

I do not know if you are speaking approximately a narcotics agent, however regularly they get folks making use of Confidential Informants, or as i love to name them "snitches." Somebody will get in situation and so they inform them that they are going to deliver them downward departure for his or her crime if they may be able to signal a number of papers and practically paintings for them. As lengthy as they may be able to acquire anything from the character, it's admissable when you consider that they're operating as an professional member of the police. More or Less!!

You would have a longer life, as a door gunner, on a helicopter.

You start by not telling everyone what your ambitions are! Unless you have a death wish.
