The amount of drugs and cash intercepted by American Law Enforcement is roughly equivalent to one hole in a large colander.
The rate of capture is likely close to 1% of drugs and cash smuggled into or out of the United States.

Airports are designed to move people and luggage quickly and efficiently.
Airports are NOT designed for detection and interdiction.
The placement of detection equipment

The same playbook is always used by the Federal Agencies.
They lack creativity, ingenuity and the ability to do anything different from the same old system.

Corporations should be paying for their part in transportation of contraband.
I have solutions for this problem.

I have a number of effective solutions to identify and stop the movement of drugs, firearms, explosives and cash across International Borders.

If you are a Government Agency or a Company that has contracts with Governments for security I can help you.

FBI reports on Robert Maxwell.

In the series, the x-files agent Scully often wear high heels. Do female FBI agents do this in real life. Did they do in the nineties when the series takes place. It seems rather stupid to wear high heels on a job whare you have the risk of getting into a gunfight. Could be the difference between life and death

The FBI sent me an email to complete the questionnaire within 7 days. But the email got lost in my Spam Folder. It’s only after they sent the reminder email that I realized they had sent the email 7 days ago. When I tried to complete it, my online account did not have anything and the link was not working anymore. Anyone with this kind of experience and what my options are? What can I do to reinstate my application? Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I applied for the OCT position back in January 2026 and was interviewed in May, but I haven't received any updates regarding the outcome of my interview.

I just applied for the Electronics Technician (ET) position as well, and I'm wondering whether applying for another position while my OCT application is still pending could negatively impact my chances for either opportunity.

Also, for those who interviewed for the OCT position around May, have you received any updates or heard back regarding the next steps in the hiring process?

I would appreciate any insights or experiences you could share. Thank you!

I can log in to my portal but the Special Agent portal tab is not available anymore, the one where you can see our progress. Is this happening to anyone else? Or am I just rejected?

I try to upload my transcript and it pops up with a 🔄🔄🔄 and never actually uploads. What should I do?

How is the moral in the Chelsea office? Are people happy working there? Specifically in the forensic accounting division.

Hi everyone. Hope you're all doing well. Is anyone else experiencing issues with the apply.fbijobs.gov website? It brings me back to that annoying "Join the Mission" form but I was able to see the actual open listings earlier today. I was in the process of completing an application, but now can lo longer finalize it. Anyone else????

I’ve been invested in going into the FBI for quite some years now. I am currently getting an associates degree for cyber security and a bachelor’s for criminal justice. I’m active duty army and plan on staying in for only 7 years and transition into the FBI. By the time I apply I will have both degrees and I’ll be 25 years old. I do volunteer work with animals and foster children and try to stay relatively active. My dream career is to be in the crimes against children unit saving children from predators and bringing them justice and protection. What else can I do to make myself stand out and be a good candidate for this specific unit. I do understand that I cannot choose and at the end of the day it’s whatever the needs of the FBI are.

Hi! It is my end career goal to be a special agent. I love the work and I am extremely interested in that being my career. I know everything about schooling required, age reqs, work experience reqs etc…. But I’m majoring in criminology currently but I would maybe like to switch to psychology. I am unsure of what job I am aiming for with my psychology degree but I is it unrealistic or unnecessary to go into PA school? I was thinking of becoming a PA for a few years (as I’m interested in medicine as well...) so I can have a stable career before applying to be an agent, pay off debts, and have a reliable backup plan as I know the career field is competitive. Someone let me know if the plan is solid, or if I should stick to something else!! I realistically can see myself becoming an agent in the future and it’s my biggest passion. Thank you:)

What opportunities have opened up for people who have done the FBI internship program in undergrad? Did anyone feel they were able to get into better grad/law schools? Were any jobs specifically easier to get because of that experience? What is the benefit of this internship in other aspects besides opening doors within the FBI.

I’ve posted here before not too long ago actually. I’ve come back with questions! My plan as of now is to get my associates in either art or science? I’d have to recheck which one I’d need for qualifying for the FBI. But anyways after I do that I want to get my masters in criminal/forensics psychology (I’m aiming for a PHD but who knows) once that is said and I done I’d like to join the FBI, it’s been my life long dream, I think part of me is just too scared that I’m not strong or smart enough to pass the tests yk? I’d personally love to work for the BAU. This is more of a vent if anything I just needed to get it out. I was so scared for so long to pursue it that I ended up in the automotive industry….. which I’ve realised I don’t fit here.
