I have been told you should give your interviewers a copy of your resume at the beginning of your interview. Does anyone agree with or not.

It may depend on the department. I learned that, if possible, one should learn the names of the interviewers in advance and then send them follow up notes directly after the interview. And, yes, I learned to bring resumes, letters of recommendation etc to the interview as well.
I recently went on an interview at a large, urban department. I was asked to refer to myself as C101. I had 15 minutes to respond to structured questions. It was clear that bringing my personal resume, letters etc would not have gone over well. I know this because, I tried to get things together to do it, but was unable to.
However, I suspect smaller departments, with less formal interviews would be open to this.
(be advised: these are the views of a LE candidate...NOT an expert).
Good luck!!! JOW

Scool191--I think the wise thing to do would be to find out in advance, if possible, all you can about the hiring process at any given department. Including perhaps when you "should" or "should not" submit a resume. I have often said this in numerous other posts but: I
* It primarily depends upon the department you apply with!! ;D
I have also seen some agencies advertise in their ads or job postings they do NOT want resumes submitted! So, obviously, not everyone cares for a resume.
So, bottom line: Department hiring processes can differ greatly! Expectations can differ greatly! Do some recon and find out what you can in advance. Perhaps contact the department BEFORE you do anything with the process and simply ask something like, "Should I submit a resume along with my initial application to your agency?" I doubt this is going to hurt you.....
