Does anyone have knowledge of how reserve Investigators drill? Is it all in a row for the year or one weekend a month kind of thing? 

Greetings... I sent you a PM. To answer the above questions:

Since you're working alongside the active duty CGIS agents, you will rarely, if ever, work on a weekend. You need to be sure your police department is good with you taking time off during the week. It's not uncommon to get a call/email from the active duty guys requesting you come in to assist with an investigation for a few days, or to assist with a protective service operation when the Commandant visits. There's a lot of flexibility in scheduling your drill periods and your two weeks active duty. It's up to you to make sure you get a qualifying year towards retirement.  Additionally there is a lot of opportunity for ADOS orders. This is usually to cover personnel shortages. This is a great way to gain experience and build up retirement (and Hilton Honors) points.

We've had many prior service come into the IV program. As for recruiting, thiings run a little different for IV's. First, you'll need to contact the office nearest you and see if there are even any vacant billets. If so, then you may want to set up a meet and greet. You'll need to visit the recruiter to ensure you meet basic qualifications to enlist the the CG Reserve. At that point, the ball gets tossed back to CGIS and they'll go through their hiring process. This includes a written exercise, oral panel, BG, poly, and final review by the Director. If all goes well, your recruiter will resume the recruiting process and schedule you for DEPOT.

As a final note, your professional background looks pretty solid

Thank you for the fast reply. I will call this week. My employer offers paid military leave to an extent and is flexible.
