Over the past 18 months, former Special Agent in Charge Jeffrey Downey and myself have shared what we’ve believed to be valuable information to help everyone protect themselves and their family members from common scams or have tried to introduce you to how the FBI works as far as recruiting, diversity, and transparency.
I wanted to personally invite the readers to join the FBI El Paso Field Office for their in-person recruiting event in El Paso on Friday, September 6, 2024, to encourage talented individuals from diverse backgrounds to explore the unique and fulfilling career in the FBI. Throughout FBI employees’ careers, law enforcement officials meet and work with individuals from all walks of life, so the FBI values varied skills, opinions, and perspectives among its employees.
The FBI is positioned stronger to accomplish our mission because of the diverse knowledge and experience of our employees. The variety of skills and expertise among those on our team strengthens our investigations and helps us find new and innovative ways to protect the community. It takes folks from all industries and cultures to accomplish the FBI mission of protecting the American people and upholding the Constitution of the United States, and we look forward to sharing more about our work at this important event.
Those who attend the FBI El Paso recruiting event will have an opportunity to meet one-on-one with current FBI executives, special agents, intelligence analysts, linguists, IT systems, auto mechanics and other key FBI personnel for insight into the positions. In addition, many of the FBI’s Critical Incident Response components such as SWAT, Evidence Recovery Teams, Crisis Negotiations, Bomb Technicians, will be onsite to talk about their roles in FBI investigations and have their gear on display, FBI physical fitness advisors will be present to go over the FBI agent fitness test and applicant coordinators will provide guidance into the FBI application process.
If you are a college student or have a college student at home, we will have recruiters on hand to discuss the FBI’s 2026 Honors Internship Program, a summer paid internship for all our FBI locations across the nation. Learn more at fbijobs.gov.
There is no cost to attend, and attendees will not be required to submit a formal employment application following the event. But if you determine the FBI is the place for you, we will have computers set up so you can begin your application process, right then and there.
