The Trump administration has sought to portray itself as a
meritocracy fit for only the most competent employees, despite all
evidence to the contrary.
And yet, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, within this purported
meritocracy, is reportedly planning to lower its recruitment standards
in response to a crisis of the administration’s own making.
As The New York Times reported Thursday:
The Trump administration is preparing to lower the recruitment standards for
F.B.I. agents, eliciting alarm from many agents who worry that the move will
undermine the agency’s primary mission of conducting complex investigations
and tracking threats to national security. Under a plan pushed by the director,
Kash Patel, and his deputy, Dan Bongino, the F.B.I. will start welcoming new
classes of recruits who will receive less training and no longer be required to
have a college degree, according to people familiar with the plan who spoke
on the condition of anonymity to describe it. The shift comes as the agency
anticipates losing more than 5,000 employees by September, largely as a
result of agents, analysts and others taking severance or early retirement
packages offered by the Trump administration to try to reduce the budget.
“Instead of spending about 18 weeks training at the academy in
Quantico, Va., the group of agents, tentatively scheduled to start in
October, will receive eight weeks,” sources told The Times. The
report says this change is being made in response to the projected
loss of thousands of agents in September, resulting from early
retirements and severance packages some agents have sought as
the Trump administration has sought to slash the federal workforce.
(The FBI declined to comment to the Times on the reason for the
changes.)

Trump admin lowers FBI recruitment standards in a deeply ironic twist
The administration is reportedly set to lower its education and training standards for people looking to work for the nation's top law enforcement agency.www.msnbc.com
So let me get this straight...not only are they lowering entry requirements, they are going to cut their training time by more than half?
MAGA is a joke.
Way better strategy than highering competent minorities and women.
They don't want professional law enforcement - that's the point. Fewer civil servants taking an oath to the Constitution and more Derek Chauvins. That's tomorrow's FBI.

It's good to know that low IQ people have many more options, like becoming an ICE or FBI agent under Trump.
They want thugs.
No university degree. Do they need a high-school diploma? Doesn't say.MAGA: DEI is bad, you should hire only the best and most qualified!

Haaar! Exactly this!No university degree. Do they need a high-school diploma? Doesn't say.
8 weeks of training. I needed to take six months of pre-apprenticeship training before I could do an apprenticeship as an Ironworker. An FBI agent needs a fraction of that now.
Couldn't get into university? Join the FBI! Start training tomorrow, become an agent by mid-October.Haaar! Exactly this!
Gotta say though; if your motive is to create a law enforcement cadre of easily influenced mindless drones, all eagerly slavering over your every expressed whim; what better way than to hire the lower I/Q, poorly educated, less informed, knuckle draggers?
He’s already got the FBI going after anyone he views as a political enemy nervy enough to speak their minds.
America the “Land Of The Free And Home Of The Brave” . . . Not fogging hardly!
I’m old enough to remember that FBI agents weren’t even considered unless they held degrees in either accounting or law.
Takes 10 weeks of basic training to become a private in the US Army but the same guy could be an FBI agent in 8.I’m old enough to remember that FBI agents weren’t even considered unless they held degrees in either accounting or law.
