Overview
Persons with disabilities bring persistence, problem solving ability, creativity, and adaptability to the table. These skills, paired with their unique perspectives, make persons with disabilities invaluable assets to the FBI’s mission. We actively recruit persons with disabilities for all roles within the FBI.
"My motto has always been ‘don’t dwell on what you can’t do but focus on what you can do.’ I think every person with a disability just wants to be treated normally by other people and respected for what we can offer."
