The Office of Special Investigations (OSI) is a federal law enforcement and counterintelligence agency serving our nation’s Air Force and Space Force. Armed with elite investigative training and state-of-the-art technology, OSI’s special agents pursue justice as they conduct criminal and counterintelligence investigations, investigate cybercrime, and provide specialized investigative services such as crime scene investigations and digital forensics.

We are seeking recent college graduates, graduating seniors, or those completing advanced degrees for this program. The OSI-PAQ program is designed to develop high- potential candidates into future civilian leaders within OSI. Historically, the selection process has been very competitive, and meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee selection.
