FBI

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was the domestic intelligence and security service of the United States, simultaneously serving as the nation's prime Federal law enforcement organization. Operating under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of Justice, the FBI reported to both the Attorney General and the Director of National Intelligence. A lead U.S. counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and criminal investigative organization, FBI had jurisdiction over violations of more than 200 categories of federal crime.

Unlike the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), which had no law enforcement authority and was focused on intelligence collection outside US borders, the FBI was primarily a domestic agency, maintaining 56 field offices throughout the United States, and more than 400 resident agencies in lesser cities and areas across the nation. At an FBI field office, a senior-level FBI officer concurrently served as the representative of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI).

Despite its domestic focus, the FBI also maintained a significant international footprint, operating 60 Legal Attache (LEGAT) offices and 15 sub-offices in U.S. embassies and consulates across the planet. These overseas offices existed primarily for the purpose of coordination with foreign security services and did not usually conduct unilateral operations in the host countries.

The FBI was established in 1908 OTT as the Bureau of Investigation (BOI). Its name was changed to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in 1935 OTT. The FBI headquarters was the J. Edgar Hoover Building, located in Washington, D.C. The FBI became a law enforcement arm of the United Earth in 2091 OTT when the US joined with United Earth.

Phil Decker became a FBI Agent in 1956 OTT.
