Even with our post-9/11 national security responsibilities, we continue to play a key role in combating violent crime and major thefts in big cities and local communities across the U.S.
Thousands of our agents work closely with their state and local partners on investigations and joint task forces. We add value in those cases not only through our broad range of investigative expertise, but also by tapping into a network of agents across county, state, and even national borders. We have a surge capacity that can deliver extensive support during major investigations, and we make our various capabilities available upon request—from our evidence experts to our behavioral analysts.
Beyond our casework, we’re always looking at the bigger picture—analyzing trends and threats and sharing that intelligence with our partners. At the same time, we’ve built and continue to manage a criminal justice support structure for the entire law enforcement community, including state-of-the-art forensic services and databases of criminal and fingerprint records that can be accessed from any squad car.
