Former FBI agent Robyn Gritz said on Wednesday that there was a "good old boys" club within the premier U.S. law enforcement agencies after the Department of Justice released a report detailing gender bias in the field.

"They also bring this up in the report, the club – the good old boys club. They are here you know. People that are bringing people up in rank based on personal relationship," Gritz told Hill. TV's Krystal Ball on "Rising."

"You're seeing that problem right now with [FBI Director] Andy McCabe and the people there that moved up there and moved around quite fast, as opposed to having any female people, criminal investigators in those top ranks," she continued.

Gritz also highlighted that the report said 43 percent of female criminal investigators experienced a form of gender discrimination of the past four years.

The interview comes after the DOJ released a report on Tuesday, revealing that women make up only 16 percent of criminal investigative jobs within the department’s central investigative agencies and hold few executive leadership positions.

Gritz said that the DOJ and the FBI has more work to do in promoting gender equality and diversity within their ranks.

"You want to make sure that you have a diverse leadership," the former FBI agent said.

"If there's hardly any women in leadership, you're given the perception that there is discrimination practices going on."
