The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)'s mission is "to protect and defend the United States against terrorist and foreign intelligence threats, to uphold and enforce the criminal laws of the United States, and to provide leadership and criminal justice services to federal, state, municipal, and international agencies and partners" (FBI web site). The FBI was created in 1908 as the Bureau of Investigation and was renamed the FBI in 1935.
