Houston FBI Looking For Special Agents

The FBI seeks to diversify its Special Agent workforce through the Diversity Agent Recruitment Program.

From the FBI Houston Field Office: Partner with the FBI to help us diversify our Special Agent workforce. Through the Diversity Agent Recruitment (DAR) Program, we want to collaborate with your organization to attract diverse, qualified applicants to the Special Agent role.

Our Special Agents come from all walks of life. They are computer scientists, engineers, lawyers, pilots, military veterans, detectives, and accountants. We train them to interrogate suspects, investigate foreign spies, and infiltrate organized crime. They serve on SWAT teams, track cyber thieves, and supervise complex terrorism investigations. Above all, they uphold the rule of law, defend civil rights and civil liberties, and protect the innocent. For more information about the role, go to www.FBIjobs.gov.

To participate in DAR, please share the Special Agent qualifications and requirements with candidates who you know to have deep personal integrity, a commitment to this country, and the ability to connect with communities we serve.
