I.2: Other Violent Crimes

Reduce the incidence of other violent federal crimes.

Other Information:

Violent crime incidents continue to threaten our citizens. Bank robberies, extortions, kidnappings, product tampering, transportation crimes, and crimes on federal lands cause significant loss of life and economic damage. Violent fugitives who have committed heinous crimes attempt to escape justice by crossing state lines or fleeing our nation’s borders. Due to our national and international presence, the FBI is uniquely situated to address these violent crimes and reduce their incidence by aggressive and comprehensive investigations. Priority Actions: Expand the intelligence base on violent criminal activity. Arrest the most dangerous violent fugitives who pose significant and continued threats to the citizens of the United States. Enhance the safety and security of domestic transportation systems by reducing violent incidents or threats of violence involving transportation modes over which the FBI has investigative jurisdiction. Ensure an operational readiness to immediately respond to special jurisdiction incidents over which the FBI has investigative jurisdiction.
