Agency-Specific Training: Following this, recruits complete eight weeks of AFOSI-specific coursework. This combined training covers firearms, defensive tactics, forensics, crime scene processing, interrogations, and federal law.
Probationary Period: After graduating from FLETC, all new agents serve as probationary agents, where they must demonstrate proficiency in a wide range of tasks.
Advanced Training: Upon successful completion of probation, agents may receive specialized training in areas like economic crime, counterintelligence, computer crimes, or technical surveillance countermeasures. Experienced agents selected for polygraph duties attend a 14-week DoD course.

Physical Requirements: All recruits must meet the physical requirements detailed on the FLETC website: www.fletc.gov.
