Our Vision: Ahead of the threat
Protect the American people and uphold the Constitution of the United States
To effectively accomplish our mission, the FBI needs people from different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. The FBI values and leverages human differences, opinions and perspectives to empower our FBI community to achieve its greatest potential. The FBI’s commitment to fostering diversity and inclusion is integrated into every facet of employment, including leadership and career development, recruitment, staffing, workforce planning and sustainability. At every level and in every position, the FBI embraces unique perspectives to accomplish its mission.

Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity
The FBI employs more than 35,000 people, including special agents and support professionals such as intelligence analysts, language specialists, scientists, and information technology specialists.
DIVERSITY INITIATIVES
The FBI’s diversity initiatives also extend to persons with disabilities. The FBI has established a non-competitive appointing authority similar to the directive used in the competitive service under Schedule A (5 CFR 213.3102(u)) for persons with developmental disabilities, severe physical disabilities and/or psychiatric disabilities.
Supporting documentation for consideration under this authority may include a certification of job readiness (for consideration for permanent appointment) and proof of a qualifying disability issued from a licensed medical professional, a licensed vocational rehabilitation specialist or any federal or state agency.
An agency of the District of Columbia or a U.S. territory that issues or provides disability benefits may also certify the applicant as a person with a disability, describing the ability of the applicant to perform the essential duties of the position for which he or she is applying.
