Federal Bureau of Investigation

   1.What is the FBI?

     The FBI is the principal investigative arm of the United States Department of Justice. It has the authority and
     responsibility to investigate specific crimes assigned to it. The FBI also is authorized to provide other law enforcement
     agencies with cooperative services, such as fingerprint identification, laboratory examinations, and police training.

   2.What is its mission?

     The mission of the FBI is to uphold the law through the investigation of violations of criminal law; to protect the United
     States from foreign intelligence and terrorist activities; to provide leadership and law enforcement assistance to federal,
     state, local, and international agencies; and to perform these responsibilities in a manner that is responsive to the needs of
     the public and is faithful to the Constitution of the United States.

   3.When was it founded?

     On July 26, 1908, then-Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte appointed an unnamed force of Special Agents to be the
     investigative force of the Department of Justice. The FBI evolved from this small group.

   4.Who is the head of the FBI?

     The Director of the FBI is Louis J. Freeh. He assumed office on September 1, 1993.

   5.How is the Director of the FBI appointed to office?

     The Director is appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate for a term not to exceed ten years.

   6.How is the FBI organized at its Headquarters in Washington, D.C.?

     The FBI has nine divisions and four offices at its Headquarters. They provide program direction and support to fifty-six
     field offices, approximately 400 satellite offices known as resident agencies, four specialized field installations, and
     twenty-three foreign liaison posts known as Legal Attaches. The Director is supported by his staff and the Deputy
     Director. Each division is overseen by an Assistant Director. The offices are headed by an Inspector in Charge or
     General Counsel. The Assistant Directors, Inspectors in Charge, and General Counsel are supported by Deputies,

     SACs, ASACs, and others. Each of the 400 Resident Agencies is managed by a Resident Agent, or a Supervisory
