Tennessee Bureau of Investigation

A typical day would involve investigating and reporting on potential leads concerning identified violations of the State, Federal or local law and/or abuse of TennCare recipients or the TennCare system. I improved on my skills as a self-starter, learned how to gain information, how to manage time and case-load for maximum effectiveness.  During the entire tenure I worked with good people, equally motivated to serve the community.  The hardest part of the job was the age-out requirement (60 years) since I know that I have much more to provide to that or any agency.  The most enjoyable part of the position was the sense of satisfaction in doing a good job and ultimately rendering service to the people of the State of Tennessee and the citizens of the local community.

- A typical day at work was not having to always expect the same thing everyday regarding job duties. 

- I learned how important it is to collaborate with different agencies to make law enforcement come together as one to help others. 

- Each job is a new experience and all management is different. Management at TBI was not the best, but you learn how to deal with certain individuals.

- workplace culture can be challenging because not all parties get a long or may even have workplace gossip. 

- hardest part of the job was working and putting your all into a job that you feel you're more valuable than.

•	Shadowed Special Agents which enhanced personal understanding of case development, evidence collection, reviewing and developing analysis reports, and supporting conclusions for court cases
•	Assisted with case operations by conducting surveillance and attending case briefings
•	Attended training classes led by representatives from the Department of Child Services and Department of Health and Human Services

I was so honored to work for TBI, this is a very prestigious law enforcement agency. 

I always new I was appreciated and there was always a team work environment. The TBI Director lead his agency with integrity and expected the same from his LEO's and Agents. There was always chance for advancement.

I only left because I was hand selected to help start the State of Tennessee Educational Lottery Security Unit.

One of the best state law enforcement organizations in the country. Truth, bravery and integrity are truly reflected among the men and women who serve the citizens or the great state of Tennessee. 

I like my job and the people I work with but it does not pay enough for me to live on my own. I have to work three jobs just to make ends meet. Advancement within the Bureau is tough and you have to make friends with the right people in order to advance.

Long unpredictable hours with many travel hours. Good experience and plenty of training. Salary is low for the expected education and workload. Department has recently changed leadership with the goal of having better retention of employees and better work conditions.

Worked daily to promote the mission and vision of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. Responded timely to all media and public relations matters affecting the Bureau in Western region  of the state. Coordinated efforts with all federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies.

Most interesting job I have ever had. I had the best bosses. There was team feeling among us as we all typed for special agents. I typed for the special agents for the whole state in the drug enforceent unit. I was very sad to leave there and move to Florida.

A typical work day involved making sure the public was safe. This would include but is not limited to; gathering intelligence information, running various databases such as NCIC, providing services to special agents, comparing fingerprints etc.
