Hear it from the Agents Themselves
"FBI Counter Intelligence Agents work in the “shadows” and most successes will never be reported in the media. The typical adversary is a foreign intelligence officer (spy) who is often times the best trained and best educated officer from their given country. Identifying spies and engaging in activities to neutralize their operations is very rewarding, particularly when the adversary is not aware of FBI involvement." |
"Working for the FBI should be considered an honor and privilege. The FBI is a distinguished law enforcement agency, and the integrity of its employees is unsurpassed. Its mission is very important, and to accomplish projects and assignments is a very rewarding experience. The ethical standards are very high, and an employee must have a great deal of professionalism and respect for others. But the rewards are also great, and so is the feeling of pride." |
