FBI Agent Requirements

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is a governmental agency belonging to the United States Department of Justice that serves as both a federal criminal investigative body and an internal intelligence agency (counterintelligence). Also, it is the government agency responsible for investigating crimes on Indian reservations in the United States[2] under the Major Crimes Act. The branch has investigative jurisdiction over violations of more than 200 categories of federal crime. Law enforcement officials and investigators, such as FBI special agents, often work long, irregular hours and under highly stressful conditions. The job of FBI special agent requires that the person meet certain minimum physical criteria regarding sight, hearing and physical fitness. These agents work out in the field, conducting investigations and gathering evidence to use in undercover operations or in a court of law.
