Short Story: The Federal Bureau Of Investigation
Identical looking men in black suits with black sunglasses driving around black cars. That's what comes to mind when everyone thinks of the FBI. The Federal Bureau of Investigation makes it no secret that they like secrets but sometimes, these secrets slip out into the public. Should we say the word "secret" one more time?

Anyway, now it's our turn to do a little investigation on America's most infamous government agency. You'll certainly think differently about them by the end.

    The second borough that is involved many times in my book is the Bronx. The main protagonists, Zach Jordan and Kylie MacDonald, both very commonly visit the Bronx because their New York Detective Department is based there. The New York Detective Department has a relatively tremendous lobby with a vast amount of police workers walking all over the place. Another important place in the Detective Department is the room where they have meetings with the Mayor of New York and the chief of the New York Police Department, Chief Cates. It’s a very bright and bland room with basically a long rounded wooden desk inside. There is usually an off-setting mood in the room but it is very unnoticeable compared to the positivity and seriousness of our main…

    A: The organizational structure of the Pinkerton National Detective Agency, found in 1850 by Allan Pinkerton and the first of its kind in the US, was later adopted by the FBI. As with the Pinkerton Agency, the FBI began to take on cases that local law enforcement were too limited in resources to handle on their own. In addition, Pinkerton created what was called “the rogues’ gallery” which detailed the names and operations of known criminals and their associates. During the European Industrial Revolution, thief catchers (now known as informants, snitches, and a variety of other names) were hired to help law enforcement catch criminals, a practice which is obviously still in use today. In addition, thief catchers were also criminals in their own right, which made it easier to infiltrate the targeted criminals. In eighteenth century Paris, a personal identification system, known as the Bertillon System, became the first system based on the idea that human characteristics such skeleton size and eye color were the same throughout a person’s life. In the mid eighteenth century, the study of fingerprints became a popular way to identify crime suspects. They did not learn until the turn of the century that each person’s fingerprints were unique and could not be changed. Scotland yard, founded in the early eighteenth century, was the model that the FBI modeled itself after initially. All of these are examples in which criminal investigations of today have been influenced, directly and indirectly, by the past and the progress that has been made in the time that has gone by since then.…

    On September 11, 2001 the United States experienced the most devastating attack on US soil since Pearl Harbor. This terrorist attack left people with several questions: Who would do this? and How could this happen? When the 9/11 commission report came out it revealed that there were intelligence failures on many levels, most importantly of which was a lack of or unwillingness of agencies to share intelligence. The Commission’s report noted, “information was not shared, sometimes inadvertently or because of legal misunderstandings” and “ Often the handoffs of information were lost across the divide separating the foreign and domestic agencies of the government” (9/11 Commission Report 2004, 353). For example the report highlights the case of Khalid al Mihdhar and Nawaf al Hazmi, two individuals that the NSA had identified and the CIA were tracking their movements…

    The formation of the FBI goes back to a group of special agents created in 1908, by Attorney General Charles Bonaparte, under President Theodore Roosevelt. It sprung up during the Progressive Era, a time when people supported a crime intervention team and believed government intervention was necessary in this type of society. Congress was also very supportive toward the Attorney General's plan. They enacted a law preventing the Department of Justice from engaging in secret service operatives, giving all of the investigative power to Bonaparte and his team of special agents. On July 26, 1908, Bonaparte ordered his special agents to report to Chief examiner Stanley W. Finch. This force of agents was later named the Bureau of Investigations by…
