He goes down hard, spitting up blood. Athena kicks the gun, spinning across the floor. She waits patiently as Michael holds onto the wall to stand. Too tired to throw a punch, he lunges at her again, trying to wrap his arms around her. She twists out of the way and drives her elbow into his neck with staggering force. Michael stumbles back, mouth open, unable to to breathe. Athena obliges him with a kick to the gut, and he hits the floor awkwardly with his back against the wall but looks relieved as his lungs fill with air. Athena takes her Beretta from the agent lying on the ground, and Michael holds out a hand...

...This PowerPoint Presentation is well-developed, and carefully synthesized an abundance of information. Personally, I found this PowerPoint to be an easy read with great slide themes and color backgrounds. This PowerPoint presentation was extremely informative, as it covered a variety of job qualifications upon gaining employment with the FBI. For example, the desired age for applicants is between 23 to 37 years of age; the FBI Academy is located in Quantico, Virginia; the minimum job requirement is a Bachelors Degree, and the yearly salary of $69,000 is very appealing.

...The FBI started in 1908 from a group of special agents by Attorney General Charles Bonaparte during the presidency of Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt and Bonaparte both were called "Progressives." They shared the conviction that efficiency and expertise, not political connections, should determine who could best serve in government. Theodore Roosevelt quickly appointed Bonaparte to be attorney general. In 1909, the Special Agents named FBI to Bureau of Investigation and then changed the name to Federal Bureau of Investigation in 1935. When the FBI was established, there weren't an abundance of federal crimes, so they investigated violations of ranging from white slavery to antitrust crimes as well as neutrality violations. In June of 1910, the FBI grew larger because of the "Mann Act" (Made it a crime to transport women to other states for immoral reasons). The FBI could now prosecute people who tried to flee over states lines. Because of its continued worth and effectiveness, the FBI's number grew to over 300 special agents and 300 support employees over the next few years. It provided a tool by which the federal government could investigate criminals who evaded state laws but had no other federal violations. During World War I, the FBI was given the responsibility of investigating espionage, sabotage, sedition, and draft violations. In 1920, the gangster era began. This brought a new type of crime into play that had not been seen before. Criminals were kidnapping and robbing...

...property and resent the best possible case to the prosecutor. While all these investigations take place many different special operation units and federal agencies intervene in the cases. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is a unit that handles financial crime, violent crime, organized crime, public corruption, violations of individual civil rights, and drug-related crimes. They are a unit that has been around for a long time and has helped solve many cases. “The Federal Bureau of Investigation was founded in 1908 when the Attorney General appointed an anonymous force of 34 Special Agents to be investigators for the Department of Justice. Before that, the DOJ had to borrow agents from the U.S. Secret Service. In 1909, the Special Agent Force was renamed the Bureau of Investigation, and after countless name changes, it became The Federal Bureau of Investigation in 1935. When the FBI was established, there were not an abundance of federal crimes, so it investigated criminal acts that dealt with national banking, bankruptcy, naturalization, antitrust, peonage, and land fraud. In June of 1910, the FBI grew larger because the "Mann Act" (Made it a crime to transport women to other states for immoral reasons).

...of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation 2012 The Strategic Information and Operations Center at FBI Headquarters is the 24/7 command post that monitors FBI operations and law enforcement activities around the globe. An FBI agent examines a potentially contaminated letter during a white powder training exercise. 2012 The FBI Story I A Message from FBI Director Robert S. Mueller, III For the FBI and its partners, 2012 was a year that reminded us once again of the seriousness of the security threats facing our nation. During the year, extremists plotted to attack—unsuccessfully, thanks to the work of our Joint Terrorism Task Forces—the U.S. Capitol, the New York Federal Reserve Bank, and other landmarks on U.S. soil. Tragically, on the 11th anniversary of 9/11, a hateful attack in Benghazi took the lives of the U.S. Ambassador to Libya and three other Americans. In the cyber realm, a rising tide of hackers took electronic aim at global cyber infrastructure, causing untold damages. High-dollar white-collar crimes of all kinds also continued to siphon significant sums from the pocketbooks of consumers. And in Newtown, Connecticut, 20 young children and six adults lost their lives in one of the worst mass shootings in American history, ending a year of violence that saw similar tragedies around the country. Working with its colleagues around the globe, the FBI is committed to taking a leadership role in protecting the nation. As you can see from this book—an annual...

...these are remarkable innovations, but they have unfortunately given criminals, terrorists, and hostile states new opportunities to steal American property, disrupt our way of life, and compromise our National security. This paper will attempt to show the roles and challenges of law enforcement agencies such as the Secret Service, FBI, Department of Homeland Security, and others that have taken on roles to fight computer crimes and terrorism. This paper will also discuss how the U.S. could align the efforts of these agencies to better protect the nation against digital crimes and terrorism. Keywords: law enforcers, national security, protect, crime The Role of Federal Agencies in Fighting Digital Crime Cyber crooks are always working to steal the privacy and money of hard-working Americans. The computers of American consumers are subject to endless scams and schemes achieved by malicious e-mails, malware turning their computers into unwitting bots that send out unwanted spam, or the plethora of identity theft conjured up by these crooks to steal hard-working people’s privacy and money. The businesses in America are under assault by foreign agents seeking to steal their intellectual property. This crime, according to reports, has led to over $1 trillion to date, and by criminal hackers seeking to rob corporate accounts or to blackmail companies by threatening to release stolen trade secrets. Companies are devastated by these types of crimes, and they...

...The FBI can be effective, but is not as effective as it calls for. Looking for one of Americas most infamous terrorists took ten years. The FBI is costly and the rate for catching criminals at the top ten is faulting. The FBI focuses on threats that challenge the foundation of American society. It was founded on July 26, 1908. Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte created the open field organization. He appointed a force of special agents to be the ones investigative go to for the Department of Justice. The FBI evolved from that small group into what we have today. The FBI stands for Federal Bureau of Investigation. “Federal” is in relation to the national government of the United States. The “Bureau” means the department or division...

...work environment, allow agents and intelligence analysts to share vital investigative information, and replace the obsolete Automated Case Support (ACS) system. The FBI outsourced the code writing for the VCF project in the year 2001 to contractor Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) based out of San Diego,CA. SAIC delivered 700,000 lines of code that was overly bug ridden, and functionally off target from what the FBI expected, that the FBI had to terminate the $170 million project which included $105 million worth of unusable code. Various government audits and independent reports show that the FBI did not have the proper IT management and technical expertise, and should share the blame for the VCF project failure. At the termination of the project in 2005, Glenn A. Fine, the U.S. Department of Justice's inspector general, described the main factors that contributed to the VCF's failure. His list included the following factors: poorly defined and slowly evolving design requirements; overly ambitious schedules; and the lack of a plan to guide hardware purchases, network deployments, and software development for the bureau. The FBI announced that it would buy off-the-shelf software to be installed in phases over the next four years from 2005-2009. The FBI will have to rely on the same combination of paper records and outdated software that the failed VCF project was supposed to replace. How could this happen to the FBI? To understand the...

Many different documents also showed what steps were done to find out who’s guilty and who (the agent who was asked to do the job) is not guilty. CIA documents had a lot of private information which masked with white, however it still gave enough information to make some steps for analysis, even without having primary source. Finally, Document 4 shows what kind of pressure relied on two your correspondents and how not matter what type of pressure was put, they did not reveal their sources. Even during FBI investigation. Document 4 also reveals the tactics that correspondents used to receive some information from FBI while investigation was going.

...I have always had a dream to work with the Federals Bureau, the FBI. Since I watched an episode of Fetch with Ruff Ruffman, I always have been drawn to figure out a crime scene. This episode consisted of forensic scientists and agents testing ink to determine who wrote a note. Ever since I saw those scientists doing their jobs, I have had a passion to do so myself. In the career of an FBI special agent, depending on the day, depends what work I will have to do. I would think if I had a crime scene file, I will figure out pieces to connect the puzzle of the crime. If it is a day where I don’t have a case, I would probably figure out someway I can investigate a scene. This job definitely requires many responsibilities. An example of these responsibilities...

...Argument The Need for the FBI Over the years, the FBI has grown from a small bureau into a service that not only the nation needs, but also the world. It has helped in many significant cases throughout history, such as Al Capone, the Unabomber, Bonnie and Clyde, and without the FBI, would not have been solved or taken care of as easily (“Famous Cases” 1). These have proven to make the environment a better place to live in. The FBI is needed to protect the country’s safety and the well being of each individual daily. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has grown to be an immune system that is needed, to protect the country, the individual’s and the environment that is lived in every single day, by protecting us from terrorism, cyber fraud, technology crime, etc. The Federal Bureau’s history is actually exceptionally complex and interesting. It happens to “originat[e] from a force of Special Agents created in 1908 by Attorney General Charles Bonaparte during the Presidency of Theodore Roosevelt” (“FBI History” 1). But when it was first founded it rarely had to deal with federal crimes. Bonaparte and Roosevelt worked together to figure out the ways that the FBI would come together to help the country and how it would benefit from this government service. One of their genius ways to improve the country’s safety was by “creating a corps of Special Agents” (“FBI History” 1). Although some believed that Bonaparte was a Progressive, at other times they believe that he was not. (Jones...

...FBI: A War on Terrorism The Federal Bureau of Investigation is often depicted as the suit wearing hard core heroes called in to crack the tough cases. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is a lot like that. There is more to the bureau than just the criminal investigation side. The FBI plays an active role in the war on terrorism. On September 11th 2001, the lives of Americans changed. Two planes were taking over by terrorist that smuggled razor blades on broad. The two high jacked planes then were flown into the Twin Towers in New York. The result was the loss of life for 3,000 Americans; the plane crashes were one of the most lethal attacks America has ever faced. After the heart wrenching and fear striking events of 9/11, the FBI has devoted a great majority of its resources into keep events like September 11th happening again. Within a year, the FBI established new websites, tip lines, and joint organizations to further anti-terrorist culminations. The FBI is currently in charge of more than a dozen agencies concerning terrorism. Many advocates say that the FBI is doing a great job with the war against terrorism. Critics of the FBI’s handling of security directly related to the prevention and/ or detection of possible acts or terrorism or terrorist fall into two categories: the FBI is not doing sufficient job of keeping the lives of American’s safe and secondly, the FBI is overstepping the constitutional boundaries in the so said name of terrorism prevention.
