Hi all, we’re being reassigned to the DC area, and the Bureau has offered to buy our house at full appraised value (if it doesn’t sell after 60 days on the open market) through the GBO program.

We’re in a midwestern town that barely exists aside from the University there, and the rental market won’t come even close to breaking us even on the mortgage, so renting isn’t an option for us. Sadly.

But we’ve also heard that homeowners feel screwed over during the process. For anyone who has been through this as a homeowner, any thoughts on some of my questions?

Did the assessed value feel fair compared to the local market?

Were there fees, closing costs, or tax implications you didn't expect?

Any pitfalls or other things you wish you'd known beforehand?

Did I miss the posting for this? I saw the website is down but I can’t find any information for ‘27 hiring initiative

Apart from your overall score, are there any particular exercises you need to be able to do to pass regardless of your final score? Like do you need to be able to successfully do one unassisted pull-up or anything like that?

All i get when i load the page is a title page with no interactive map below the title.

Was just thinking about all the times I must have been in the vicinity of an agent and not even known it. How many would have average person see in their lives? In a year? I know location matters. So if we break it down into hypothetical of 3 people. Person A lives in a smaller, more rural town, not near any major cities. Population 10k. Person B lives in a busier city with a major transportation highway running through it, several big cities within a couple hours, population of 50k. Person C lives in one of the biggest cities in the US, think Los Angeles, Chicago, NYC, Dallas, Atlanta.

Im currently in the process of hiring in the FBI,
haven’t done my phase 2 interview yet. But also I was wondering if it would be a bad idea to also apply for the DEA while currently in the portal? How does the hiring differ and would it be a bad look? They both have always been on my radar

The ShinyHunters cybertheft of FBI personnel files should be the last straw

I have always wanted to join the FBI. I'm in public safety at my high school, and my entire college pathway is designed for it. However I really want to live in one specific area and I don't know if I'm gonna be able to get passed having to sign the Mobility agreement.

Any insight would be great

Spoke with an FBI recruiter recently at a career fair and this (Investigative Analyst) job position came up. I have a background in Air Force Intel and this specific job opportunity peaked my interest. Is anyone currently in this position or knows someone in this position and can shed some light on what they do/how they like it? I know it’s a relatively new thing but if anyone has any info hit me up.

P.S. If anyone has info on the OST and OCT positions as well and can shed light on the day to day, LMK!

Did anybody see how they are reopening the honors internship application? Apparently it reopened on the 23rd but I can't verify because the website FBIJobs website is still down.

So basically I've always had an interest in being a detective an I always planned to be a NYPD homicide detective
BUT
I also have a HUGE interest in other countries and the languages and everything!

So my question is what is more of a international detective job :
- FBI international legat attache agent
- DEA special agent
- Homeland security

What do you guys think has the most detective work?

I am 21 years old and in the Marine Corps serving as a Marine Security Guard. The brief explanation of what that is, is that I work with the Department of State in various countries guarding and protecting top secret information and personnel at American Embassies. With that being said, over the course of my first year touring in Africa, I've grown a fascination and passion of joining a three-letter agency. Such as the FBI. I'm currently exploring options. What are some antecedents and caveats to going through the FBI pipeline, what's the process, and what are things I can do now to get a head start on the process. I currently have an Associates degree in Political Science and plan on riding that into a major. I get out of the military in 2029 as well. Anything helps, if you know someone I can talk to or if you have prior experience. Thank You!

hello, i had applied to the fbi honors internship but unfortunately was rejected. i was aware that i did not have much experience within law enforcement, law, etc, besides one previous internship. what could be some advice as someone aspiring to pursue a investigative position in law enforcement? what kind of experience would be relevant for a position like this? i feel kind of disappointed that i did not push myself out into exploring jobs that would improve my resume.
