AFOSI seeks qualified enlisted Airmen for special agent duty

The Air Force Office of Special Investigations is seeking qualified enlisted Airmen for duty as an AFOSI special agent. 

Applicants should have five to 12 years time in service and must be 12 to 15 months from their DEROS. Interested applicants should be of strong moral character, have an outstanding work ethic and must meet the requirements to obtain a top secret security clearance.

AFOSI is the Air Force’s premier investigative agency. First established in 1948, AFOSI was modeled after the FBI.

Today, there are more than 160 operating locations worldwide and AFOSI welcomes more than 230 officer, enlisted and civilian special agents each year into the command.

AFOSI has three primary missions. First and foremost is the counterintelligence mission. This mission includes investigating the crimes of espionage, terrorism, technology transfer and computer infiltration.

AFOSI’s second mission area is criminal investigations. The vast majority of AFOSI’s investigative activities involve felony crimes. These crimes include robbery, sexual assaults, illegal narcotics offenses and a full spectrum of other criminal acts.
The third and final AFOSI mission is economic crime investigations, commonly referred to as fraud. These investigations include violations of contracting matters, pay and allowance matters, and environmental crimes, just to name a few.

The recruitment process to become an AFOSI special agent is quite lengthy. If accepted, applicants will maintain their original DEROS and PCS with training en route. Training is conducted at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, located in Glynco, Ga. FLETC is a joint training environment with many other U.S. federal law enforcement agencies.
