We watch female agents catching bad guys every week on the “FBI” shows that air on WCCO. Our local field office hopes Minnesota women will consider real-life careers as special agents. Jennifer Mayerle experienced part of the training to see what it takes.

“The FBI is always working to build a diverse workforce. Our goal is to reflect the community that we work in,” recruiter and Special Agent Brenda Kane said.

Kane says the female special agents who showed WCCO’s cameras the training didn’t have a law enforcement background before joining the bureau. Two were attorneys, the other an ER nurse.
