Supervisory Special Agent Ashlyn Knight

What is a Supervisory Special Agent? The Federal Bureau of Investigation is an intelligence-driven and threat- focused national security organization with both intelligence and law enforcement responsibilities. (5) A Supervisory Special Agent is an agent that works with the FBI and is a leader of a certain team. It requires them to report directly to managing and executive special agents. (1) FBI agents are in charge of investigating over 200 different categories of violations related to national security and federal law. The criminal activity a FBI agent may investigate includes bank robberies, terrorism, corruption, cybercrime, organized crime, espionage and drug trafficking. Evidence cited on slide 7. stated after each sentence or paragraph.

Education and Training The FBI requires all agents to hold at least a bachelor's degree from an accredited U.S. college. Suggested degree programs include psychology, criminology, or sociology. (4) Consider an advanced degree. While a bachelor's is the required minimum for employment with the FBI, the FBI also reports that the Behavioral Analysis Unit consists of Supervisory Special Agents who possess advanced degrees. Earning an advanced degree could increase a candidate's chances of being hired into the unit later in his or her career. Prospective FBI agents must have a bachelor’s degree a with an overall GPA of 3.0 or higher and three years of related work experience, or an advanced degree (master’s degree or higher) and two years of related work experience. It takes 4-6 years of college to get the degree to become an FBI agent. I would most likely go to Ashford University in San Diego, California.

Opportunities for Advancement If you have a higher degree than everyone else, you have a higher chance of becoming a Supervisory Special Agent. In order to become a FBI agent you must have no criminal background. You have to take a drug test, a polygraph, a physical test, and a mental test. Depending on what you did when you were younger to become a juvenile delinquent you may not be able to become an FBI agent. Even if the records are expunged they can still say no to you. For example, if you were selling drugs they can always say no whenever they want to. If you get to the point where they might say yes its always best to bring up the record even if they’re expunged. (3) According, to where you live and how much living in the area cost, depends on the amount of money you make as a FBI profiler. Most places like Houston, New York, and San Francisco. (7) They make between $120,000 and $160,000 depending where they are located. (2)

Aptitudes And Values Required FBI agents must possess certain personal qualities including honesty, responsibility and sound judgment skills. Because agents are often involved in criminal matters that are sensitive in nature, a high level of integrity is also necessary. FBI agents must depend on one another to perform well and even to ensure their survival, so the ability and willingness to function as part of a team is a vital characteristic. (6)
