Surprising Facts that the FBI Wants You To Know

A Strict Age Limit

To be a part of the FBI's street team, you need to be between the ages of 23 and 36. It might seem like this is an ageist requirement, but this is to make sure that the on-the-ground FBI agents are in tip-top shape. Once they go past the age limit, they can head into the office if they choose.
