Hair must be of reasonable length without faddish or exaggerated style or color.
No. There is no required hair length in the FBI. Most male agents maintain "clean cut" haircuts. Regardless of style, there is no requirement when it comes to hair.
To apply for an FBI Agent position, individuals must have good vision. Persons with slight color vision deficiency, or color blindness, may still be eligible if they can pass the Farnsworth D15 test.
Police officers in the US are allowed any natural-looking hair color. That's as a general rule. There might be some department, somewhere, which would be just fine with a patrol officer or a detective sporting purple hair or a cherry Kool Aid dye job.
The wearing of Fluorescent, or multi-colored polishes or nails is not authorized. Will not extend more than ¼ inch beyond the fingertip. Ornate decoration (such as gems) or ornamentation of the fingernail polish (such as painted pictures or design) is not authorized.
New agent trainees are expected to maintain the FBI's conservative look and wear business apparel. Men wear suits and ties, and women wear dresses or suits.
Clean shaven, fresh haircut, no earrings/piercings, and dress like you would for court (conservative suit, white shirt, solid color tie). Imagine you're trying out for the TV role of ““rookie federal agent.” You're offered agent positions from both the FBI & CIA, which do you choose?
The wearing of body jewellery or body piercings such as tongue studs, nose studs, and eyebrow jewellery is not permissible.
Searches for drugs, stolen items, other things obtained illegally, or things police believe may be used for crime. Police can pat you down, look in your pockets and bags and search your car. They can also ask you to open your mouth and move or shake out your hair. Police are not allowed to strip search you in public.
When it comes to wearing makeup, having their nails done, or wearing earrings or rings, it's up to the individual female police officer, and long as it's not excessive.
Candidates cannot have used any illegal drug, other than marijuana, within the ten (10) years preceding the date of the application for employment.

There are exactly 46 leaves in the two branches, since there were 46 states in the Union when the FBI was founded in 1908. The significance of the red and white parallel stripes lies in their colors. Red traditionally stands for courage, valor, strength, while white conveys cleanliness, light, truth, and peace.
FBI Agent Training at Quantico
Before beginning field work, FBI agents must pass through New Agent Training at the FBI Academy. This approximately 20-week course is one of the most difficult training programs law enforcement officials will ever go through, and it will test both physical and mental limits.
The FBI does have strict rules on physical appearance, especially during training, but they don't specifically ban all tattoos.
Facial hair (mustaches, beards, and goatees) is permitted but can be no longer than 1/2 inch in length and must always be neatly trimmed.
All special agents begin their career at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia, for 20 weeks of intensive training at one of the world's finest law enforcement training facilities. During their time there, trainees live on campus and participate in a variety of training activities.
Uniformed officers and staff: Hair must be worn above the collar. If you have long hair, you must wear it neatly and securely fastened up, relatively close to and behind the head and so as not to interfere with any uniform headwear.
The police can't touch you. The police can't search you. The police can't force you to stay. The police can't arrest you if you don't answer or if you walk away unless they believe you are acting antisocially.
“It is not illegal for someone to refuse an unlawful strip search,” explains Redfern Legal Centre head of police accountability practice Samantha Lee.
If you're 14 to 16 you must bring a parent or guardian. Also, piercings below the neck and on tongues at this age are carried out at the discretion of the piercer. Those aged 16 and over are treated as adults.
So while ear piercing may be legal for a minor (anyone under 18), a tongue piercing may require parental consent. Sometimes a parent has to be present along with giving consent, but not always.
So, can cops have beards? The answer is…it depends. While most departments require officers to be clean-shaven, there are exceptions and accommodations that can be made for religious or medical reasons.
For many applicants, the FBI special agent physical fitness test (PFT) is, without a doubt, the most challenging part of the process. Our PFT doesn't just test physical fitness. It tests qualities like self-discipline, self-motivation, and the ability to plan and adjust to challenges.
Phase I and Phase II Writing Assessment — Wear casual, comfortable clothing that is suitable for an office environment. Phase II Structured Interview — Dress in a professional manner; business attire is recommended.
