Changes to hiring rules have been made by the FBI. These changes affect how applicants who have engaged in certain behaviors are treated. Previously, some behaviors would automatically disqualify an applicant. Now, the context of the behavior will be considered in some cases.

The goal of these changes is to help victims of certain crimes. They should no longer fear being automatically rejected due to their past experiences.

Further information about these changes is available, including the reasoning behind them and how they will be implemented.
