SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. --  The Air Force Office of Special Investigations is seeking qualified enlisted Airmen for duty as an AFOSI special agent.

Applicants should be Senior Airman through Tech. Sgt. and have 3-11 years time in service. 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 200 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 are felony crime investigations. The vast majority of AFOSI's investigative activities fall in this mission area. These crimes include murder, robbery, sexual assaults, illegal narcotics offenses and a full spectrum of other criminal acts.

AFOSI's second mission area is the counterintelligence (CI) mission. This mission includes investigating the crimes of espionage, terrorism, technology transfer and computer infiltration.

The third 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.

OSI is not a special duty, it is a full crosstrain and with that the recruitment process to become an AFOSI special agent can be lengthy. If accepted, training is conducted at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC), located in Brunswick, GA. FLETC is a joint training environment with many other U.S. federal law enforcement agencies.
