Federal Bureau of Investigation careers

The FBI's roughly 38,000 employees are not all special agents. Intelligence analysts, language specialists, scientists, and information technology specialists sit alongside them. A Washington headquarters supports 56 field offices in big cities, more than 350 smaller offices known as resident agencies, several specialized field installations, and more than 60 legal attache offices abroad. The bureau dates itself to July 26, 1908, when Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte appointed an unnamed force of special agents as the investigative arm of the Justice Department.
Two tracks run here, special agent and professional staff, and the second is the wider one: intelligence analysts, linguists, Laboratory Division scientists, and IT staff spread over three technology divisions. With 56 field offices and more than 350 resident agencies, most of that work sits well away from Washington.
