The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is the most famous enforcement agency in the USA. It is held in high regard by many citizens, who think of it as an example of what a law enforcement agency should be.

The FBI operates 59 field officers and employs more than 21.000 people, including 9.000 special agents – of whom over 800 are women. With a budget of over $ 1 billion per year, FBI jurisdiction extends to more than 200 specific crimes and certain broad areas of criminal activity. The identification Division maintains fingerprint records numbering nearly 200 million and receives thousands of additional records each day. A modern FBI laboratory conducts nearly 1 million scientific analyses each year.

The FBI National Academy trains over 1.000 local and state law enforcement officers every 12 months.

FBI activities are concentrated on white-collar crimes, gambling law violations, drug offences, arson, racketing, foreign espionage, civil rights violations, violent serial offenders, and offences involving high technology. The Uniform Crime Reporting Program of the FBI gathers statistics on reported crime throughout the United States and publishes yearly summary reports. The FBI laboratory provides significant assistance to many local and state police agencies, and the Bureau's National Crime Information Centre (NCIC) maintains million of records on a variety of offenses in support of investigative efforts across the country.
