Protective Agent
Work Schedule: Full Time
Salary: $48,108 – $83,722*
Location: Washington, DC metropolitan area
The Office of Security (OS), Protective Programs Group, has multiple vacancies for motivated and talented officers interested in protective operations serving as Protective Agents. Protective Agent positions fall within the OS/Protective Operations Specialist career track. The successful candidate will primarily support protective operations, but he/she may also be required to support other CIA Divisions’ protective requirements, such as the CIA Director’s Protective Staff. Extended foreign (60 days or more in duration) and/or domestic temporary duty assignments (TDYs) in support of critical operations are to be expected.
Typical duties of the Protective Agent include: deploying to high threat areas worldwide as part of a close-protection team, conducting protective surveys for locations overseas, supporting ad hoc protective requirements in Continental US, attending required training, and completing special projects assigned by management. Protective Agents are consistently called upon to deploy and participate in training and operational assignments, are expected to work long hours and to deploy for periods from 30 to 90 days in length. The amount of yearly travel is unpredictable, and interested candidates should expect to deploy for extended periods, often at significant personal sacrifice.
Minimum requirements include a high school diploma or the equivalent. Applicants must be at least 21 years old, physically fit and possess a valid driver’s license. Extensive military, security, or law enforcement experience is desired (preferably in a military special operations branch or as S.W.A.T officers). A bachelor’s degree or higher is preferred.
Applicants should possess excellent oral and written communication, and analytical skills; have high levels of integrity and trustworthiness; and loyalty to the U.S. Protective Agents are often directed to work overtime, night shifts, holidays, weekends and to travel frequently overseas. Applicants will earn overtime and premium pay benefits. *Salaries range from $48,108 – $67,908 for entry level applicants and $56,511 – $83, 722 for applicants at the developmental level. Additionally, applicants should be in good overall physical, mental and emotional condition; have a reputation as a team player; and be willing to work long hours with ever-changing schedules. Flexibility is a must.
All applicants must successfully complete a thorough medical and psychological exam, a polygraph interview and an extensive background investigation. US citizenship is required.
To be considered suitable for Agency employment, applicants must generally not have used illegal drugs within the last twelve months. The issue of illegal drug use prior to twelve months ago is carefully evaluated during the medical and security processing.
Important Notice: Friends, family, individuals, or organizations may be interested to learn that you are an applicant for or an employee of the CIA. Their interest, however, may not be benign or in your best interest. You cannot control whom they would tell. We therefore ask you to exercise discretion and good judgment in disclosing your interest in a position with the Agency. You will receive further guidance on this topic as you proceed through your CIA employment processing.
