Task forces unite federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies to share intelligence, conduct investigations, and coordinate arrests in terrorism, gang, cybercrime, crimes against children, and human trafficking cases.
Services and data
The FBI's Criminal Justice Information Services Division, or CJIS, is a high-tech hub that provides a range of state of-the-art tools and services-including crime data and tip processing-to law enforcement, national security and intelligence community partners, and the general public.
Training and professional development
The FBI offers training opportunities to U.S. and international agencies and partners. The range of professional courses, to include the National Academy, serves to improve the administration of justice and to raise law enforcement standards, knowledge, and cooperation worldwide.

Cyber
The success of the FBI Cyber mission depends on our partnerships-with law enforcement, intelligence agencies, and the private sector. Our partners play an integral role in defending against a cyberthreat no agency can face alone.
