His dedication to a lifetime of service to the nation is why he joined the ranks of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in 1996. Secondly, Bryan Paarmann also wanted to accomplish a family legacy and follow in his father’s footsteps who had served in the FBI from 1952 – 1980 following service in the military in World War II.
In 1996, Bryan Paarmann became a second-generation FBI Special Agent, proudly accepting and carrying his father’s credential number which was passed on to him. The picture of the Paarmann ‘passing of the torch’ still hangs in the FBI Experience museum in FBIHQ.

He became the FBI Special Agent in Charge of the FBI New York Office Counterterrorism Division and the NY JTTF in 2017; something that he credits with being one of the greatest honors in his career.
The task force is the most dynamic multi-organizational counterterrorism team in the nation.
