The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is the U.S. domestic intelligence and security services agency, and the nations primary federal law enforcement agency. The FBI is the leading federal agency for investigating computer crimes, including computer hacking, Internet sexual exploitation, fraud, and computer-related acts of terrorism. The FBI is also charged with enforcing the compliance of the RICO Act and investigating violations of the Act, as well as pursuing those violations through the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). As a component of DOJ, the FBI reports its investigative findings to the Attorney General of the United States and his aides in Washington, D.C., as well as the U.S. attorneys offices in the nations federal court districts.
The FBI also collects, shares, and analyzes intelligence, both to support its own investigations and those of its partners, and to better understand and counter the security threats facing the United States. The FBIs core mission is to protect and defend the United States from terrorist, criminal, and foreign intelligence threats, uphold and enforce U.S. criminal laws, and provide criminal justice leadership and services to federal, state, municipal, and international agencies and partners. Although a federal agency, the FBI is not a national police force, and law enforcement in the United States remains predominantly the responsibility of state and local governments.
The investigative authority of the FBI covers a wide range of federal criminal laws, covering over 200 areas, including computer crimes (cybercrimes), embezzlement, money laundering, organized crime (including extortion and racketeering), piracy and hijacking, sabotage, sedition, terrorism (including ecoterrorism), and treason. The FBI was created in 1909 as the Department of Justices division for investigating federal crimes. During World War II, the FBI was further authorized to investigate threats to national security. Throughout the 1930s, the role of the FBI expanded as President Franklin D. Roosevelt asked the FBI to look into the activities of the United Statessubversives, and as a number of laws were passed by Congress that increased the types of federal crimes that fell within the FBIs purview.
The investigation formed the rubric within which the FBI began investigating the Civil Rights Movement. The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) began monitoring Martin Luther King, Jr., in December 1955, during Martin Luther Kings participation in the Montgomery Bus Boycott, and conducted clandestine operations against him throughout the 1960s. After Kings 1968 assassination, the FBI launched a successful wide-scale investigation to locate his murderer. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover continued to sanction investigations into Martin Luther King, as well as covert operations aimed at discrediting Kings standing with financial supporters, church leaders, government officials, and the media.

All departments and agencies shall furnish the Federal Bureau of Investigation appropriate assistance in conducting those investigations. All departments and agencies shall promptly report any information concerning any such breach to The Federal Bureau of Investigation. As amended, clause (2) will ensure that the Secret Service continues to have the lead responsibility for protecting the President, but will, at the same time, allow the FBI to assist in that protection. The Attorney General and the Federal Bureau of Investigation can investigate felony murders committed by officers and employees of a State or political subdivision of a State or political subdivision while engaged in, or in connection with, the performance of an official duty related to preventing, detecting, investigating, or prosecuting a crime against a State or political subdivision, when such inquiry is requested by the chief officer or employee who murdered the officer or employee, and pursuant to guidelines that may be established by the Attorney General or an attorney general designee.
The FBI provides these tools for the complex identification and intelligence services of local, state, federal, and international law enforcement agencies. FBI frequently works with other federal agencies, including the United States Coast Guard (USCG) and United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for maritime and airport security, and the National Transportation Safety Board for investigating aircraft crashes and other serious incidents. The Bureau has a large employee base, including over 10,000 Special Agents, who conduct investigative work.
Through its Uniform Crime Reporting Program, the bureau publishes an annual comprehensive summary of criminal activity across the United States; it also releases specific reports on hate crimes. It gathers evidence in most civil cases in which the United States is a party, or could become a party, and it investigates individuals considered to work in sensitive positions in the federal government. As part of its mission, the FBIs National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) helps save lives and protect people from harm by keeping guns out of the wrong hands.
