Chat… are we cooked?

Yesterday afternoon the FBI Agents Association sent employees a message on how to handle the 12-question survey many employees have received about their role in the January 6 investigations. According to NBC, here is what the message advised agents and other FBI personnel to do:

• Respond with the following wording: "I have been told I am ‘required to respond’ to this survey, without being afforded appropriate time to research my answers, speak with others, speak with counsel or other representation."
• Also write: “To the best of my ability and belief, I have performed my duties in accordance with the Constitution of the United States."
• Finally, “Do NOT resign or offer to resign.” If you are terminated, "you need to be clear that your removal is not voluntary"
• If you are terminated, "make sure you get the termination notice in writing and forward it to us [the FBI Agents Association] ASAP." This applies to you no matter what your position is (agent, support,, etc.)

Best of luck to all of you. Hold the line. And please make sure to stay calm and refrain from making any statements that could be deemed to violate the Hatch Act, They will use that to fire you.

What degrees do they look for or does it not matter?

4. Posts Must Be Related to the FBI. To keep our community focused, we ask that all posts maintain relevance to topics involving the FBI.

As the title states, with the recent news and political landscape would now be a good time to apply or would It be best if I just waited 4 years and tried then?

I'm a teacher and I cannot start my new job until my fingerprints come back from the FBI. I REALLY need to start this job soon for financial reasons.

I have done this 5 times before, but I need to redo it for each job. It's been 10 days!

Does anyone know how long this can take?

24 SACs/ADICs and all EADs are being fired/retiring to not be fired

All EADs for FBI were walked out yesterday.

And 9300 probationary employees will be fired next week.

All Special Agents involved in the Trump investigation are being terminated.

Trump is retaliating against the FBI and crippling one of the best departments in the DOJ. Men and women who have dedicated their lives to their country are being punished for doing their best to uphold the law.

Hey everyone. I’m currently still in the army but may be getting med boarded in a year. Im a medic with combat deployment experience, a decent amount of medical certs, and have an Associates in health science. I just want to know what y’all’s recommendations to make myself more competitive and what exactly are the steps I need to meet the qualifications. Thank you!

They cancelled the entire FBI internship program bc of the hiring freeze. Those who accepted offers over 6 months ago and have now missed much of the recruiting cycle, what’s the move?

Hey all,

I'm suddenly feeling the need to switch my path from medicine to psychology...and perhaps the FBI. I would love to work for the FBI, but I cannot find ANY information about any type of psychology-related job within the bureau on their website. What career options do I have going into the FBI with a masters or doctorate in forensic psych, and what steps would I need to take?

Thanks!

Hello. I am trying to plan ahead for the Summer Honors Internship Program. What kind of stuff is on the application process? Resume, essay?

Hi guy, just curious I just got email from FBI investigate, is it scam?

Title pretty much says it. Paul Abbate lasted less than three days before retiring. Absolutely his prerogative but I doubt many will miss him.

I am aware of one candidate who was recently forwarded to BFTC WITHOUT a passing AFT score. If I know of one, I'm sure there have been others. Good news for fatties I guess. Now, the individual in question was counseled that they must have have a passing score before graduation but that is kind of empty since ALL candidates have to pass at least one AFT while at the Academy. Why this was done and the accompanying logic is something I have no visibility on but it will be interesting to see if the new Director halts this.
