The Air Force’s Office of Special Investigations (OSI) is a federal law enforcement and counterintelligence agency. 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.

If selected, you’ll intern at an OSI Detachment and shadow fully credentialed federal agents at select Air Force installations. Successful PCIP Interns may qualify for a full-time federal law enforcement position within our agency after college graduation.
