Before You Apply
If you are interested in becoming a Special Agent, you should ask yourself:
- Am I prepared to carry a firearm and use it if necessary?
- Have I followed the law, even when it wasn't popular to do so?
- Am I physically capable of managing dangerous or potentially life-threatening situations?
- Do I consider more than the superficial or apparent solution when it comes to solving problems?
- Do I take initiative and adapt to constantly changing situations without being told what to do?
- Does my family support my becoming a federal law enforcement officer?
Know the answer before you apply.
