Being a PIO sounds like an exciting, rewarding and meaningful career. What are the requirements, what does it pay and how do I apply?
PIOs are recruited from within the organizations with clearance to perform these procedures. They are most often senior investigators already familiar with basic hard interrogation and torture protocols used with uncooperative subjects. They are the few high achieving men and women who are comfortable knowing that the greater good of the United States of America is far more valuable then the potential for causing a potentially (but not likely) innocent individual indescribable pain, suffering and death. These men and women are typically at GS-40 and above.
