Exciting Employment Opportunities for Interpreters and Translators in Law Enforcement.
Applicants must be fluent in English as well as a foreign language. Some positions require U.S. citizenship, and most require a background investigation conducted by the U.S. government.
Metropolitan is now hiring linguists to work under our contracts with the United States Department of Justice (DEA, FBI) and Department of Homeland Security (ICE).
As a linguist under these contracts, you will assist federal law enforcement agents with narco-trafficking, human trafficking, counterfeiting, terrorism, fraud and money laundering investigations.
Positions are available throughout the United States with a primary need in Southern California, New York, New Jersey, Florida, Georgia and Nevada.
All positions associated with these contracts require a security clearance, for which Metropolitan will sponsor you, provided that you satisfy the security requirements established by the DOJ. The first requirement is that you must be a legal permanent resident with authorization to work.
The other security requirements will apply after you have reviewed the qualifications required to obtain the position. View All Jobs Listings

If you feel you that have the qualifications required to work as a linguist in the exciting field of law enforcement, please continue to the next screen, which will ask you some more specific questions.
Before You Begin…
The questions you are about to answer are specifically designed to determine your ability to qualify for a government security clearance, a key requirement for many of the positions we offer. Complete and truthful answers to these questions are crucial to your acceptance as a potential candidate. Please bear in mind that a seemingly adverse response to a question may not necessarily be a disqualifying factor, but an untruthful answer would be.
Any information you provide is kept in strict confidence and is not viewed or shared with any persons, parties or agencies other than those directly instrumental in acquiring your services. Please note that as you navigate through this application, you are not asked to reveal your identity until you have successfully passed the initial qualifying questions. Should you not satisfy the initial criteria, all the information you provided will be deleted as a safeguard to your privacy and you will be instructed on how to apply for other employment opportunities with Metropolitan that do not require a security clearance.
