It's Not The Same FBI
In its national recruitment commercial for Intelligence Analysts, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (F.B.I) has reached out to minority communities. The new TV ad, which first ran during Super Bowl, features a young Sikh-American.
"I have an international relations degree. I speak Panjabi fluently. I analyze and decipher security threats. I am an intelligence analyst in today's FBI. It's not the same world. It's not the same FBI".
Adelle Banks reports that Megan Baroska, a public affairs specialist with the FBI, stated that the advertisement campaign now running in Washington D.C., will go nationwide in March and include television, radio, and print media.
"We want to build relationships and we also want to expand our personnel to include representatives from all communities that the FBI serves," Baroska said.
