No, I'm looking at the law enforcement arm (as that is what I have the most experience with). I think you're looking at the higher level (investigative) jobs while I'm looking at the patrolling groups - which have similar training to local law enforcement and therefore have similar background investigations.
They don't typically have Security Clearances (Confidential, Classified, Secret, Top Secret, etc.).
A thorough background investigation does not equal a Security Clearance.
People will office jobs are actually MORE likely to need a Security Clearance.
ICE agents (who are actively practicing law enforcement) are more likely to need a security clearance than Customs and Border PATROL (who are actively practicing law enforcment).
