Last week, FBI Phoenix had the honor of welcoming an Arizona family into the office for a special day as Junior Special Agents!

FBI Phoenix met the brothers at the annual MDA Summer Camp in Payson, AZ, earlier this year. When we learned they were interested in the FBI, we couldn't wait to make them Junior Special Agents!

The brothers took the oath of office, officially welcoming them as Junior Special Agents for the day. The family also received an inside look at the work of our Evidence Response Team, SWAT, Bomb Technicians, Tactical Operations Center (TOC), and Fugitive Task Force through special demonstrations and hands-on learning experiences.

Every day at the FBI is exciting, but this one was extra special!
