People who work in the FBI, do they get to chose in what department to work in, or are they assigned.?

Two part answer:\n1.  When you are hired by the FBI, you attend New Agent Training in Quantico, VA.  After your 7 week there, you will get your orders to one of the 56 Field Offices.  Once you are at your field office, you will work a particular group of violations based on the squad you are on (i.e. White Collar, Terrorism, Violent Crimes, Cyber, etc).  The SAC (Special Agent in Charge) or an ASAC (Assistant Special Agent in Charge) will designate what squad you work on.  They attempt to look at your background and skillset, but its all based on needs of the bureau.  Crimes against children can be split up between between various squads with VCMO squads usually handling child slavery, prostitution, kidnaping, etc and the Cyber squads handling child pornography, travelers, etc..\n\n2.  To get hired, see www.fbijobs.com.  Skills/education/etc varies, but you need a 4 year degree and 3 years of job experience, or a Masters of PhD degree with less than 3 years job experience.\n\nAs a side note, you can call your local FBI office and ask to speak to the applicant coordinator (to learn more about how to get a job at the FBI) or the Crimes against Children coordinator (to learn more about that program)

The CIA is the offspring of the OSS. After WWII, the commandos that worked with partisans, were split into two groups: CIA; handling foreign espionage, and Airborne Rangers; conducting combat operations. Special Forces work the gray area in between.\n\nThe FBI was set up to fight gangsters, and other professional criminals that worked nationwide, during the depression. It is just as covert as the CIA.\n\nThe two work a lot like MI5 and MI6, in England.\n\nWhich one of you two ladies is foreign, and which is domestic?

Federal Law enforcement generally falls under the interstate commerce clause of the US constitution.  That gives Congress the ability to create them.  The FBI and ATF are good examples of this.  The commerce clause has been stretched pretty far so that almost anything can be investigated by the FBI.  This started when Hoover wanted to hunt down an escaped convict.  The FBI wasn't allowed to look for him because it didn't involve interstate travel.  Hoover said that the prisoner was in violation of the Selective Service Act, which mandated that all males over 18 had to inform Selective Service when they changed residences.  The convict didn't inform the SS of his change of address, which was a federal crime, so the FBI went after him for that.  As funny as it sounds, it worked and today the FBI and ATF don't even bother to make excuses.  They know that they can always come up with something if they are challenged in court.

There will be thousands of procedures and practices.  A good start would be to review the web page for the FBI lab.\n\nhttp://www.fbi.gov/hq/lab/labhome.htm

I am going to School for a Bach. of Science in Criminal Justice. \nNo one just goes into the FBI. The difference is experience. You have to work in the state crime lab if you are going into forensics. If you are going to be an investigator you will never see a lab but will need psychology classes. But no matter what you decide you will have to put about five or six years into the state before even applying for the FBI because they look for experience. You could always call and talk to some one who works for your state. They could tell you what they do, and what classes they took!

Yes...depending on what type of work you want to do and depending on what type of crime was committed.

Most people with a bachelor in criminal justice become police officers. But I have a friend that is planning on going into the fbi, (which is hot). I'm sure you could also go to law school and become a lawyer with that degree as well. Also, you could probably become a probation officer.

The FBI has primary jurisdiction.  The affected agency may run a parallel investigation, depending on the circumstances, but the FBI is the lead.

As an FBI agent, you don't work in departments, and you probably will not investigate many homicides.  The FBI's number one priority is to prevent terrorism.  \n\nIn fact, here is the complete list of FBI priorities:\n\n1. Protect the United States from terrorist attack.\n2. Protect the United States against foreign intelligence operations and espionage.\n3. Protect the United States against cyber-based attacks and high-technology crimes.\n4. Combat public corruption at all levels.\n5. Protect civil rights.\n6. Combat transnational and national criminal organizations and enterprises.\n7. Combat major white-collar crime.\n8. Combat significant violent crime.\n9. Support federal, state, county, municipal, and international partners.\n10. Upgrade technology to successfully perform the FBI's mission. \n\nSo, as you can see, investigating homicides is now number 8 on their priority list.  However, once an FBI agent, you will go to a field office where you will be assigned to a squad.  If your lucky, you could be assigned to a VCMO (Violent Crime/Major Offender) squad which investigates some homicides, bank robberies, and other violent type crimes.  Or, if you happen to be assigned to a field office that has Indian Reservations in its territory, you may end up working homicides on an Indian Reservation.\n\nSo, what does it take to become an FBI agent?

Study the company in case they ask you any specifics about what you know about them.  I had an interview with the FBI once and they were asking things like, "What do you know about the hierarchy of the FBI?" and "Can you name a case that you know we are involved in right now?"  \n\nAlso be prepared with strengths and weaknesses that you have - turn the weaknesses into a positive somehow.  \n\nI think Monster.com has a section on interview tips that might be helpful to you.

Special Agent is the title for the entry level law enforcement position with the FBI.  Like other government jobs, it may be due to the specific definition of their duties and their salary entitlements.  Example:  a customs agent may make less than a special agent in the FBI.  Both positions have the same employer so a delineation must be made between the two positions for salary purposes.  Having different titles enables the federal government to do this without confusion.

Sorry but 75% of an FBI agent's job is paperwork.  Same thing for Border Patrol and regular police.

Unfortunately, they don't have definite roles. The FBI is supposed to in charge of federal investigations within the country. The CIA is supposed to be in charge of intelligence in foreign nations and against foreign nationals within in the country, though the FBI seems to have jurisdiction over those people as well. The US Marshalls are somewhat more clearly defined. They protect the courts and judges and enforce their rulings. So, for instance, US Marshalls were instrumental in ensuring desegregation. The other federal law enforcement agencies are extremely well defined, being limited to either a specific location (like the Capitol Police) or specific statutes (like the ATF), but there is some overlap with them and all the other agencies. The FBI, for instance, can enforce the same laws as the ATF. The source below has a list of federal law enfrocement agencies. The other aspects of national security are all classified as military, and by definition are only supposed to target foreign nations or foreign nationals in America.

A few months ago, there was an opening with the CIA for an assassin. These highly classified positions are hard to fill, and there's a lot of testing and background checks involved before you can even be considered for the position.\n\nAfter sending some applicants through the background checks, training and testing, they narrowed the possible choices down to 2 men and a woman, but only one position was available.\n\nThe day came for the final test to see which person would get the extremely secretive job. The CIA men administering the test took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun. "We must know that you will follow your instructions no matter what the circumstances," they explained. "Inside this room, you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Take this gun and kill her."\n\nThe man got a shocked look on his face and said, "You can't be serious! I could never shoot my own wife!"\n\n"Well," says the CIA man, "you're definitely not the right man for this job then."\n\nSo they bring the second man to the same door and hand him a gun. "We must know that you will follow instructions no matter what the circumstances," they explained to the second man. "Inside you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Take this gun and kill her."\n\nThe second man looked a bit shocked, but nonetheless took the gun and went in the room. All was quiet for about 5 minutes, then the door opened. The man came out of the room with tears in his eyes. "I tried to shoot her, I just couldn't pull the trigger and shoot my wife. I guess I'm not the right man for the job."\n\n"No," the CIA man replied, "You don't have what it takes. Take your wife and go home."\n\nNow they're down to the woman left to test. Again they lead her to the same door to the same room and hand her the same gun. "We must be sure that you will follow instructions no matter what the circumstances, this is your final test. Inside you will find your husband sitting in a chair. Take this gun and kill him."\n\nThe woman took the gun and opened the door. Once the door closed, the CIA heard the gun start firing. One shot after another for 13 shots. Then all hell broke loose in the room. They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls. This went on for several minutes, then all went quiet.\n\nThe door opened slowly, and there stood the woman. She wiped the sweat from her brow and said, "You guys didn't tell me the gun was loaded with blanks! I had to beat the bastard to death with the chair!"\n\n\n\n\nAnd this one is REALLY DIRTY, so don't read unless you're OVER 18 please. It is worth the disgustingness at the end.\n\nVoodoo Penis\nThere was this businessman who was getting ready to go on a long business trip. He knew his wife was a flirtatious sort, so he thought he'd try to get her something to keep her occupied while he was gone, because he didn't much like the idea of her doing someone else. So he went to a store that sold sex toys and started looking around. \n\nHe was browsing through the dilldos, looking for something special to please his wife, and started talking to the old man behind the counter. He explained his situation. The old man said, "Well, I don't really know of anything that will do the trick. We have vibrating dilldos, special attachments, and so on, but I don't know of anything that will keep her occupied for weeks, except -- " and he stopped.\n\n"Except what?" the man asked.\n\n"Nothing, nothing."\n\n"C'mon, tell me! I need something!"\n\n"Well, sir, I don't usually mention this, but there is the 'voodoo penis.'"\n\n"So what's up with this voodoo penis?" he asked.\n\nThe old man reached under the counter, and pulled out an old wooden box, carved with strange symbols. He opened it, and there l
