Employment Opportunities with the FBI

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that, in the wake of the Home Security Act of 2002 and the FBI Reform Act of 2002, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is experiencing some shifts in human resource policies, which will affect current and future employees. The author points out that, while the FBI enjoys a certain "cloak-and-dagger" quality to its image, the reality is that the FBI requires employees for a wide range of job opportunities besides special agents. The jobs include professional support roles in any number of positions such as computer specialist, crime scene specialist, linguist and intelligence research specialist. The paper states that the FBI is headquartered in Washington, D.C.; the agency maintains field offices in a number of large cities throughout the United States, Puerto Rico and several major foreign cities.

From the Paper:

"Not surprisingly, pay scales are tied to the types of work involved, as well as other factors such as employment location (cost of living allowances are paid as with other federal positions) and seniority. In this regard, the FBI falls under the federal employment regimen, and employees receive GS ratings; special agents, for example, can attain a GS 15 rating and are eligible for "availability pay," which is equal to 25 percent of their annual base salary."
