The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is reportedly preparing to ease the pathway for existing staff to become special agents by removing key assessment stages, as Director Kash Patel attempts to address ongoing recruitment shortages within the bureau.
According to Reuters, internal applicants may no longer be required to complete traditional panel interviews or written assessments, instead advancing to training at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia after passing an online exam.
The long-standing interview process — typically conducted by three experienced agents to evaluate judgement, communication skills and professional background — has drawn criticism following the proposed changes.
Retired Supervisory Special Agent Jeff Crocker warned the decision could have lasting consequences, saying allowing candidates to qualify “simply by passing a web-based test will be both seismic and generationally harmful to the republic.” An FBI spokesperson rejected claims standards were being weakened, arguing the revisions merely “streamline the process to remove duplicative, bureaucratic steps,” noting candidates must still receive leadership approval and successfully complete academy training.
The reported overhaul comes as Patel pushes to refocus the agency toward violent crime and immigration enforcement, reallocating agents from national security and financial investigations to frontline policing and support roles alongside Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations — a shift that has already sparked debate following controversial enforcement incidents earlier this year.

On-line tests are great. All you need is a two monitor set up – one for the test, the other to research the answers.
U tried Windows?
Yes, that’s using Windows. But it’s easier if you can see the question and the answer at the same time without switching between windows on one monitor.
…all trained by the IDF and then sent to New Zealand..!
Vote for the NZ Loyal Party so that the criminal organisation known as the FBI can be booted-out of NZ!
This is proof that A.I. will ‘select’ the ‘candidates’ for Quantico!
Palantir will operate accordingly, selecting those FBI ‘Agents’ who will insure that the U.S. Constitution will be set-aside in order to make way for Noahide Law, Martial Law, and Talmudic Enforcement of the same by Shabbos-Goy selectees!
Israel OWNS the U.S.!
So no one with brains and integrity wants to join the US Gestapo, is that right? Can’t say I’m surprised…
