The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) traces its beginnings to July 26, 1908, when President Theodore Roosevelt and Attorney General Charles Bonaparte established a small force of special agents within the Department of Justice. Over time, the organization evolved into the FBI, expanding its responsibilities from investigating financial crimes and public corruption to protecting the nation from organized crime, terrorism, espionage, and other federal offenses. Through advances in forensic science, criminal investigations, and intelligence gathering, the FBI has become one of the world's leading law enforcement agencies, dedicated to upholding the Constitution and protecting the safety and security of the American people.
