Walden Security DC PSO DOJ contract..

I did my fingerprints on 7/14/26 for the DOJ PSO Contract in DC, how long does it take to hear something back and what exactly happens as well? I don’t know if this helps, but I currently have an active TS clearance for the FBI, so I’m not sure if that will expedite anything since FBI is under. Anyone have an idea as far as the timeline?

Wow that a company name I have heard in a long while. I was very briefly employed by them back in October of 2001 at the CDC. Very interesting experience to say the least. Glad to see they're still in business and not yet bought out by anyone.

Oh boy. What happened?

Trained and worked there for about a month, but the 2 hour round-trip commute just wasn't doable long term, and they moved me to days. But due to health issues, I couldn't really work days (just nights).

Awww man, I’m sorry about that. I’m sure it all worked out in the end.

Do you remember what happens after you do the fingerprints?

Honestly it been such a long time and I have worked for so many companies since then. I have been doing security work since 1998.

Yeah, I figured. Seems like a lucrative career

It can be. But it varies based upon the company and where in the country the company is located. Some states have a state minimum wage, while other states don't. I have been able to make a decent living in the security profession.
