JOB VACANCIES FBI - (ALL AREAS)

 

Many federal investigative jobs have age requirements, and applicants must be at least 21 years of age and under the age of 37 at the time of appointment. Other positions state that you must be 21 years of age and be a U.S. citizen. Each job announcement lists the required qualifications for that position. If you want to work in law enforcement, and you are over age 37, your options are limited; you may have to consider a support position that does not have an age limit.

The federal government maintains a high profile in many areas of law enforcement. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents are the government’s principal investigators, responsible for investigating violations of more than 200 categories of federal law and conducting sensitive national security investigations. Agents may conduct surveillance, monitor court-authorized wiretaps, examine business records, investigate white-collar crime, or participate in sensitive under-cover assignments. The FBI investigates organized crime, public corruption, financial crime, fraud against the government, bribery, copyright infringement, civil rights violations, bank robbery, extortion, kidnapping, air piracy, terrorism, espionage, interstate criminal activity, drug trafficking, and other violations of federal statutes.

The FBI hires crime scene specialists, special agents, laboratory technicians, fingerprint experts, language specialists, and a large group of support specialists. Together with many others, these are the members of the FBI's Professional Support staff: Thousands working together in a united effort against crime.

The following jobs are currently advertised by the FBI. Jobs are located at various locations as noted on the announcements. The FBI is committed to protecting your privacy and will collect no personal information about you unless you choose to provide that information to them. The resume data you do submit will be used for employment consideration only and will be stored in an internal resume tracking system. Your data is only available internally to a limited number of hiring officials and will not be shared with any other people or organizations internally or externally.

HOSTAGE RESCUE TEAMS (HRT)

Protect America and save lives by becoming an FBI Special Agent, and serve with the FBI Hostage Rescue Team.

The FBI is the lead Federal Agency for investigating terrorist threats against the United States. This responsibility includes tactical response to interdict and apprehend terrorists before they can act, and to conduct other high-risk tactical operations. The FBI has one full-time counterterrorist tactical team, the FBI Hostage Rescue Team (HRT). As an FBI Special Agent* (SA), you may become a member of the FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team. Here, highly qualified and motivated FBI Special Agents volunteer to respond to challenges that are the most complex, critical, and urgent. They are a tight-knit team — highly trained, specially equipped, always prepared.

Candidates for the position of FBI Special Agent must possess a four-year college degree and three years of professional work experience; be available for assignment anywhere in the FBI’s jurisdiction; be between the ages of 23 and 36; be in excellent physical condition with the ability to pass a rigorous physical fitness test; and consent to a complete background investigation, drug test, and polygraph. HRT Operators are Special Agents first, and will have investigative and managerial career opportunities in the FBI following their HRT assignment.

The FBI's Hostage Rescue Team (HRT) was established in 1983 to be a national level counterterrorist unit, offering a tactical option for any extraordinary hostage crisis or other law enforcement situation that may occur within the United States. Today, HRT responds to the most urgent and complex FBI cases in the U.S. and abroad. It is part of the Tactical Support Branch of the FBI’s Critical Incident Response Group (CIRG), and is based at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia.

The HRT is organized into Tactical Units, each of which is made up of assaulter and sniper/observer Operators. These tactical elements are supported by a Tactical Helicopter Unit, Tactical Mobility Team, logistics, intelligence, communications, and command staffs.
