Becoming An FBI Agent

Improved Essays
Unit 5 Research Paper
I want to join the FBI because I want to learn how to handle a gun and fight off criminals. I think becoming an agent will be cool because of the respect they get from their community. I think the suits look awesome and professional. I think I would do well at the job; I’m always alert and focused when it comes to a job. I would love to solve crimes and investigate things. In the FBI Special Agent Entry, I’d like to study law. Have you ever seen Bones? I think they are FBI agents, and how they investigate those dead bodies is awesome and they find out how they died; it is really interesting. Becoming an FBI agent requires specific education (a bachelor’s degree) and training, long, interesting and frustrating days

Your starting salary is up to $43,705 and after a few years you can make up to $80,000 (“FBI Jobs”). Agents also receive health, dental, and life insurance. The FBI website says: “FBI benefits plans are designed to foster health, happiness and satisfaction...to be a positive motivating factor and to ready each and every one of our employees to contribute to our mission” ("Benefits At Today's FBI"). Although I already wanted to become an FBI agent, the benefits are motivational.
In conclusion, my interest and respect for firearms and my desire to serve the community has grown and because of this, I feel that becoming a FBI agent is the perfect profession. Knowing the law, having the skills to handle crimes and work with local law enforcement, and earning respect from the community are all things FBI agents need to have. FBI agents are important to the community because they are one of the reasons why this country is so great. Although I’m only 16, I am very excited for the opportunity to pursue my goal of becoming an FBI agent. Works Cited

    For one FBI agents are looked up too by citizens of the world because they genuinely care about the safety and well-being of the people of the United States. Also, Agents have to go through physical and mental training pushing them to the limits making sure that they have what it takes and being able to tell the truth in no matter the situation they are faced with, I have always stood behind truth-telling because that is how I was raised and I think I would be a good fit to the FBI. “When morals decline and good men do nothing, evil flourishes. A society unwilling to learn from past is doomed. We must never forget our history.”…

    Hi, Jennifer, Law Enforcement Agencies attend college job fairs, public job fairs, billboards advertisement, internet advertisement, and word of mouth recruitment to recruit officers. When the world went to paperless applications, law enforcement recruiters were deprived of putting a face with an applicant. Years ago when an individual applied for law enforcement jobs, recruiters addressed the application for any errors or blanks not filled in before accepting the application. Technology has moved end and recruiting physically went out of style. Just because someone may have a higher education doesn't mean they're cut out for this line of work.…
