The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is a federal criminal investigative, intelligence agency, and the primary investigative arm of the United States Department of Justice (DOJ). At present, the FBI has investigative jurisdiction over violations of more than 200 categories of federal crimes and thus has the broadest investigative authority of any U.S. federal law enforcement agency

Field offices for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) are located in major cities throughout the United States and in San Juan, Puerto Rico.  In addition, resident agencies are maintained in smaller cities and towns across the United States.  Office locations were selected according to crime trends, the need for regional geographic centralization, and the need to efficiently manage resources.

Each FBI Field Office is overseen by a Special Agent in Charge (SAC), except those located in Los Angeles, New York City, and Washington, D.C.  Due to their large size, these offices each are managed by an Assistant Director in Charge (ADIC). The ADICs are assisted by SACs responsible for specific programs.

The FBI encourages the public to report any suspected violations of U.S. federal law by calling your local FBI office, Legal Attache office, or by submitting a tip via the FBI Tips and Public Leads form.
