Strategy

Four priorities guide everything we do.

Crush violent crime.

The FBI will destroy the ability of violent actors, gangs, and cartels to operate. The FBI will dismantle criminal enterprises.

Defend the homeland.

The FBI will protect the United States from terrorist attack, foreign intelligence, espionage, foreign cyber operations, and adversarial cybercriminal activity

Rebuild public trust.

The FBI will increase its own transparency to the public and be responsive to congressional oversight. The FBI will increase trust in U.S. communities and institutions by combating public corruption, white-collar crime, and civil rights violations.

Fierce organizational accountability

The FBI will hold all employees, processes, tools, and technology to the highest standard of accountability – keeping the American public informed.

Violent crime

Partnerships

Our partnerships strengthen public safety nationwide.

Joint task forces

Task forces unite federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies to share intelligence, conduct investigations, and coordinate arrests in terrorism, gang, cybercrime, crimes against children, and human trafficking cases.

Services and data

The FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services Division, or CJIS, is a high-tech hub that provides a range of state of-the-art tools and services-including crime data and tip processing-to law enforcement, national security and intelligence community partners, and the general public.

Training and professional development

The FBI offers training opportunities to U.S. and international agencies and partners. The range of professional courses, to include the National Academy, serves to improve the administration of justice and to raise law enforcement standards, knowledge, and cooperation worldwide.

Crisis response

The Critical Incident Response Group (CIRG) is responsible for the Bureau’s global readiness and response to the world’s most complex, high-consequence threats. When conventional solutions are exhausted, CIRG provides the decisive resolution required to protect the nation and uphold the law.

Cyber

The success of the FBI Cyber mission depends on our partnerships-with law enforcement, intelligence agencies, and the private sector. Our partners play an integral role in defending against a cyberthreat no agency can face alone.

Law enforcement engagement

The FBI supports its large network of law enforcement partners-including federal, state, local, Tribal, territorial, and campus agencies-through engagements, trainings, information sharing, fusion centers liaisons, and national partner calls.
