Throughout its more than hundred year history, the Federal Bureau of Investigations has been a very important agency to the United States. As a threat-based and intelligence-driven national security organization, the mission of the FBI is to protect and defend the United States against terrorist and foreign intelligence threats, to enforce the criminal laws of the United States, and to provide leadership to federal, state, and international agencies (“A Brief History of the FBI”). The Bureau’s success has always depended on its agility, its willingness to adapt, and the ongoing dedication of its personnel. But in the years since

In fact, Pinkerton’s agency and espionage tactics formed the basis for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

In the 1900’s and early 2000’s a series of events would bring a change in priorities for Federal Law Enforcement, namely the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), which was on the brink of being dissolved. “The Inspector General’s 2003 report stated that prior to 9/11, ‘the Bureau devoted significantly more special agent resources to traditional law enforcement activities such as white collar crime,

Mrs. Chandler has held numerous managerial positions throughout her career with the FBI, both in the field and at FBI Headquarters. In 1991 Mrs. Chandler was promoted to Supervisory Special Agent in the Legal Counsel Division at FBI Headquarters to support the defense of the Bureau and its personnel in civil litigation matters. She was later assigned as a manager in the Criminal Investigative Division, where she assisted with the creation of the FBI’s Health Care Fraud Program. Following a promotion to supervisor of white-collar crimes in the San Diego Field Office, Mrs. Chandler oversaw numerous joint agency operations, including one of the country’s first international health care fraud undercover operations. She also managed the El Centro Resident Agency, which investigated violent crimes, including cross border kidnappings, and environmental crimes. In 1997 she was promoted to Assistant Special Agent in Charge in the San Francisco Field Office where she oversaw the office’s White-Collar Crime Program, National Foreign Intelligence Program, and Terrorism Program. She also managed the division’s largest Resident Agency in Oakland, California. Her next promotion was to Section Chief in the Investigative Services Division, where she oversaw the FBI's Analytical Intelligence Program for Criminal and Domestic Terrorism. She then was appointed Assistant Director of the

We all have heard the phrase loose lips sink ships. On 19 May 2011, the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) painted another picture in our mind regarding this phrase. The in-depth investigation of Bryan Minkyu Martin revealed the real reasons why he betrayed the country for his own benefit. This is a classic example to prove cyber espionage cases can be alarming to our nation’s national security.

“Fidelity, Bravery, and Integrity.” That is the motto. On July 26, 1908, U.S. Attorney General Charles Bonaparte ordered a group of newly hired federal investigators to report to Chief Examiner Stanley W. Finch of the Department of Justice. About one year later, the Office of Chief Examiners was renamed the Bureau of Investigators. It later became the Federal Bureau of Investigators in 1935. With headquarters in Washington D.C, the FBI is our prime source of investigative resources and responsible for more than 200 crime categories.

The spies also had another job trying to get a scientist to join the United States Army.

During the days of the Hollywood Red Scare, Reagan actively partook in the politics of the film industry. One to be at the forefront of progress, he held the title of chairman within the Screen Actors Guild. In 1947, he was a sort of snitch for the FBI and transferred the names of possible leads for Communist members or sympathizers. Since this cooperation, the FBI took an interest in Reagan’s career and personal safety.

The room was filled with chatter and arguments. The mass murder that was happening in the states of the New England region was the center of the discussion in the Boston FBI field office building. Officer Alecia Harrison was sitting silently in the room while the roars of the others burdened her ears. It was a late night and the agents were talking all at once about their opinions on the situation. She sighed, looked around the room and shouted over the silence for everyone to be quiet. The individuals in the room grew silent as they looked at the young woman who had just interrupted their banter.

In its early days, the FBI’s responsibilities differed greatly from the role it plays today. Because there were “few federal crimes,” agents “investigated violations of law involving national banking, bankruptcy, naturalization,

The FBI appointed James Skardon to confront Fuchs. Skardon was a renowned spy-catcher, who had obtained confessions from many, including the traitor William Joyce. On December 21 1949, Skardon went to talk with Fuchs in his laboratory at the Harwell Atomic Research Establishment. To Skardon's surprise, Fuchs was eager to talk. Apparently, Fuchs wanted to talk because he was very upset with the Soviet Union's postwar policy in Eastern Europe.

Felt was accepted into the training process to become an FBI Agent in 1941. His official work for the bureau began January 26, 1942. He was posted in Texas for many years until he returned to Washington to work in the “Espionage Section of the Domestic Intelligence

Throughout this case, it was later revealed that agent Connolly and his partner appeared to have had certain level of freedom while handling Bulger’s case. The head of the FBI failed to limit agent Connolly’s authority in regard to the case as the Bureau were in need of Bulger’s help for information. For the ones who had been keeping an eye on the FBI-Winter Hill Gang activities throughout the years, it was hard to believe that the level of corruption between the FBI and the Winter Hill Gang could have lasted for so many years without the higher-ups in the FBI and the Department of Justice knowing and even perhaps approving of said relationship. As

“Lee Harvey Oswald was recruited as a CIA agent while he was serving in the Marines. Smith quotes James Wilcott, a former CIA man, who claimed that Oswald had been ‘recruited from the military for the express purpose of becoming a double agent assignment to the USSR.’ The

In 1978, the Romanian intelligence agencies experienced one of the worst blows in the history of Soviet satellite states. Mihai Pacepa dealt the blow when he defected to the West. Pacepa was a “Deputy head of the DIE [the agency responsible for industrial espionage], and a deputy minister of the Interior” (Pg 322), making him a highly placed official of the Romanian security services. As a result of his high ranking position, Pacepa possessed deep insight into the secrets and Modus Operandi of the Romanian state, and its respective
