The interviewer wants to hear that you will stay with the agency for a long period of time and there are not any minor things that would result in you leaving the role. Think of significant deal breakers when it comes to employment.

"When I commit to a role, I like to stay there as long as possible. It would take something that compromises my values to lead me to leave. Such as learning of a major ethical issue in operations that leadership was supporting. Life happens and I would consider a change if presented with a major family emergency that required my attention. Family always comes first. Lastly, perhaps if I knew that I wasn't making a difference. I want to look back on my life knowing that I spent my days well making a positive impact."

"If I saw a person on parole be kicked out of the program unfairly

If I saw that higher-ups were acting in discriminatory or unfair ways

if I saw a fellow co-worker get screwed over by higher-ups"

These are undoubtedly good reasons to leave a job! Perhaps consider rephrasing your last reason so it's a little less casual sounding and not so negative toward management. Maybe something like 'If I saw a supervisor mistreat a coworker of mine.'
