FBI Jobs, Employment Available; Government Looking to Hire Agents

At FBI.gov, 850 Agents and 2,100 Support Personnel Needed

Have you ever thought about being an FBI agent? If so, now is your chance to find FBI jobs and employment at fbi.gov and fbijobs.gov.

Terry Frieden on CNN.com/crime reports that the FBI has posted openings for 850 special agents as well as 2,100 support personnel.

Frieden's article, "Wanted: 850 new FBI agents," goes on to say that this is the largest hiring effort by the

FBI since right after the 9/11 attacks.

I decided to research the number of agents hired in 2001 and immediately thereafter I got way more than I bargained for.

Paul Shukovsky, Tracy Johnson and Daniel Lathrop reported back in 2007 on the state of the FBI.

Writing in the SeattlePi.com they discussed the fact that more agents weren't hired after 9/11 rather, 2,400 were reassigned to counter-terrorism squads; these agents weren't replaced.

President Bush did the restructuring and of course his attitude toward the situation never changed throughout his administration.

We know from physics that any action creates a reaction. In this case, reassigning FBI agents has dramatically reduced white-collar criminal prosecution.

The title of the SeattlePi.com article, "The FBI's terrorism trade-off," reflects the fact that the SeattlePi.com (Seattle Post-Intelligence) has conducted a six-month study which included 250,000 cases involving FBI agents.

The results included a 34% reduction in the prosecution of criminal white-collar crime cases and a whopping 65% prosecution reduction with respect to hate crimes.

Of course the feeling now is that the FBI just doesn't care about theses types of crimes.

The failure to follow through on white-collar crime has left scammers un-prosecuted and victims left holding the bag.

Getting back to the current situation, the FBI says the reason for the large number of openings has to do with "attrition" and retirements.

To find out more and even apply go to website http://www.fbijobs.gov/.

When I write or read a story about the FBI, I am reminded of an experience I had in basic training in the Army.

My question is: How much will they lower the job requirements to hire the people who are currently out of work?
