The CIA, also known as the Central Intelligence Agency provides us with intelligence of military actions and other actions that could potentially effect us so that we can best prepare to counter any actions taken against us.
There isn't one. Most CIA employees will never see action, let alone have a need for a weapon. Field operatives POS (Procure on Site) to avoid arousing suspicion, and for deniability purposes.
Where is the central intelligence agency?
The United States Central Intelligence Agency is the primary entity that collects data and information about foreign governments and political factions. Key items of Intel include military capabilities, government infrastructure and affecting conditions, both militarily and politically. The primary function of this task force of the Federal Executive Branch is field operations and peacekeeping missions that are usually clandestine in their nature.
Is CIA a part of the Department of Justice?
No - the CIA is an independent agency within the Executive Branch of the U.S. Government. It is not uncommon, however, to have an active duty military officer (must be 4-star rank) to be appointed as the CIA's head, as there are provisions in U.S. law for serving military officers to be appointed to civilian agency posts. The most recent examples are General David Petraeus, newly appointed head of the CIA; and former General Colin Powell, who served as National Security Advisor to President Reagan while still a serving Army officer.
Can you tell someone you work for the CIA?
Depends on your hiring terms. For most it would not be a problem at all. But for a select few who might be asked to do undercover work, it might not be allowed.
If you're not a CIA employee, claiming to work for the CIA is not a good idea. On the personal level, it's dishonest. It's also illegal to claim to be a federal agent without actually being one.
What are the ranks for the CIA?
No. It it however, a part of the government pay grade scale (G.S.) and there are G.S.pay ranks equivalent to military payranks.
What US legislation that created the CIA?
The National Security Act of 1947 created the Central Intelligence Agency. For the first time in US history the US created the CIA whose mission was to collect and analyze world wide intelligence information.
How much do FBI agents make after taxes?
No.
Presidential Order 23492, Article 5, Section 3, Clause 8: Sworn members of Federal Law Enforcement Agencies are hereby exempt from Federal Tax Influences.
The Constitutional reason being that the Federal government cannot tax constituent bodies and as an extension, law enforcement agents.
Does the CIA have jurisdiction in the us?
Generally speaking, No, they get into hot water if they do- like the Watergate. When the agency was formed the idea was to have it headquartered in Chicago, as that is in Central TIME ZONE. This may or may not be true. FBI has many Us Field offices- equivalent to precincts with regular police. an Inspector in the FBI ( and KGB) is in charge of a Field Office and is the equivalent of Major in the Army or AF.
Does the government spy on us?
Yes the government spies on you all the time, but only to determine if you are a threat to national, or international security. Therefore if you commit acts that are considered threats to many people you are tagged. They will always be watching.
However with all that information a lot of power follows.
Who was the first secret agent?
No-one knows. For most of human civilization the use of spies can be documented and for the rest it can be expected.
Why can the senate confirm or reject the president's appointee to run the CIA?
US bureaucracy has a paranoia about one person or group being in charge of more than one thing. So, all decisions and appointments must be approved by two or three different groups or individuals before they are confirmed.
CIA is most likely harder because it works everywhere exept U.S. so they fly out
of the country more. Also I live near CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia and
houses are very expensive. (The average house cost is 780,000)The traffic on
route 7(the road CIA agents use to get to work) is bad day and night. FBI which
someone could notice in 24 season 7 is almost all agents stay in building till day
is over. (exept for field agents of course). Since CIA is harder they get paid more.
the average pay for CIA is 112,000 compared to FBI is about 80,000.
No, average pay for CIA is around 57,000 a year. You only get paid 6 figures if you have been in there a long time, and you have to be a field operative. Most of the CIA gets paid average money. However, the first answer is right, CIA is harder. If you want to be a CIA field agent, you: Must be under the age of 35, must be a US citizen, should have military experience since that is preferred, should speak another language fluently since that is nearly invaluable, must have a college education, must have a minimum 3.0 GPA, and have a clean criminal record. Only around 17 out of 100 qualified applicants can actually get a job at the CIA, and that's for just any job at the CIA. Field agents only make up a small percentage of that percentage! Think you're up to all that? If so, remember, polygraphs and background checks will be performed as well. Think you've got what it takes?
Why do people think the CIA killed JFK?
The CIA did not kill John F. Kennedy, he was killed by Lee Harvey Oswald. There are many theories and schemes floating around on the subject but when the evidence is taken in totality, the result shows quite definitively that Oswald was responsible. Other theories of the assassination only hold together when the evidence is examined selectively.
Another theory based on the confession of a Mafia hit man is as follows:
Lee Harvey Oswald did not kill John F Kennedy (JFK) , but was a patsy.
The Mafia killed JFK because Bobby Kennedy was "turning up the heat" on the Mafia.
Even after all the work the Mafia had done in Chicago to get JFK elected president in 1960.
Mafia hit man James (Sutton) Files has recently confessed to firing the fatal bullet, the blew JFK's brains out towards the rear, from the infamous grassy knoll in Daily Plaza.
James Files worked together with another Mafia hit man to "take the trash out" as he put it.
Was George HW Bush in the CIA?
Yes. George H.W. Bush (41st US President) was the 11th director of the CIA, for the last year of Gerald Ford's presidency, from January 30, 1976 to January 20, 1977. Three years later, he was picked as Reagan's running mate and was elected Vice President.
Can the CIA operate on American soil?
Yes they may! And in some cases they may have jurisdiction in other countries ( with permission. ) to make an arrest. Although usually the State's patrol of the arrestee will make the arrest. The CIA will supervise the case while the person is prosecuted on either a State or Federal level. Usually it's also on a Federal level which where the United States Marshall's Service will step in and do the arrest and detain them. CIA may also do the interrogation. If it includes terrorists in foreign countries one of the military police services in one of our five military branches our country will make the arrest, and the CIA will supervise. Understand the CIA is more of an investigative branch, they do in depth studies of cases for the military and supply the intelligence for them. Along with other branches of the United States Government if needed.

How was the CIA involved in the Bay of Pigs?

The KGB was an arm of the Soviet government tasked with internal and international intelligence (frequenty in competition with Soviet Army Intelligence, the GRU) and also enforcement of internal repression/security. The CIA was a bureaucratic body, an outgrowth of the WWII-era OSS, tasked with foreign intelligence gathering and analysis.
Why does the CIA have more freedom of action than any other federal agencies?
I found the anwser to be because of the budget and the operation they do are all secert, and as we know secert does not come free.
What were the Consequences of secret CIA operations in the 1950?
Conspiracy theories and accusations of wrong doing towards the CIA.
You can become a FBI agent, but not as a Canadian citizen, you also can't have a joint citizenship (Canadian and US). But, the process to become a US citizen is long. I recommende that you stick with Law enforcment in your region. Plus, getting in the FBI is not an easy task.
I hope the info helps you out! And remember, FBI is not like Hollywood represents it, it's allot of hard desk work.
