|
||
SYSTEM PROFILE - The FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION
|
||
|
||
History
|
||
|
||
The FBI traces its roots back to the year 1908 when then U.S. Attorney General
|
||
Charles Bonaparte directed that Department of Justice investigations be handled
|
||
by a small group of special investigators. The group was formed as the Bureau
|
||
of Investigation and, in 1935, the present day name was designated by Congress.
|
||
|
||
Duties
|
||
|
||
The primary functions of the FBI and its agents are the investigations of
|
||
violations of certain Federal statutes and the collection of evidence in cases
|
||
in which the United States is or may be an interested party. The FBI performs
|
||
other duties specifically imposed by law or Presidential directive and conducts
|
||
a number of service activities for other law enforcement agencies. The FBI can
|
||
investigate a matter only when it has authority to do so under a law passed by
|
||
Congress or on instructions of the President or the Attorney General.
|
||
|
||
The FBI is not a Federal police force, it is a fact-finding organization
|
||
investigating violations of Federal laws and its authority is strictly limited
|
||
to matters within its jurisdiction. FBI agents may make arrests without a
|
||
warrant for any Federal offense committed in their presence, or when they have
|
||
reasonable grounds to believe that the person to be arrested has committed or
|
||
is attempting to commit a felony violation of United States laws. Agents may
|
||
also make arrests by warrant.
|
||
|
||
Agents do not make arrests for "investigation" or "on suspicion". Before
|
||
arrests are made, if at all possible, the facts of each case are presented tom
|
||
the U.S. Attorney who decides whether or not a Federal violation has occurred
|
||
and, if so, the U.S. Attorney may authorize agents to file a complaint which
|
||
serves as the basis of the arrest warrant.
|
||
|
||
The FBI has no authority to investigate local crimes which are not within its
|
||
jurisdiction. The FBI will, however, render all possible assistance to the
|
||
local police through the FBI Laboratory and Identification Division. The FBI
|
||
LID maintains fingerprint files on approximately 70 million (yes, million)
|
||
people. The FBI also maintains the National Crime Information Center (NCIC)
|
||
which keeps records of missing persons, serialized stolen property, wanted
|
||
persons for whom an arrest warrant is outstanding, and criminal histories on
|
||
individuals arrested and fingerprinted for serious or significant offenses.
|
||
|
||
The NCIC is a computerized information system established by the FBI as a
|
||
service to all criminal justice agencies- local, state and Federal. The
|
||
information can be instantly retrieved over a vast communications network
|
||
through the use of telecommunications equipment in criminal justice centers in
|
||
various locations in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. Many times when
|
||
monitoring the local or county police/sheriff departments a reference to a NCIC
|
||
check is heard.
|
||
|
||
The FBI is involved in criminal investigations and foreign counterintelligence
|
||
efforts. Most notably criminal investigations are those of bank robberies and
|
||
kidnapping cases. The FBI can also investigate criminal activity associated
|
||
with interstate transportation of stolen property, and the FBI can investigate
|
||
graft and corruption cases of local government under certain circumstances.
|
||
Department of Justice offices mat be found on some military installations as
|
||
the FBI has jurisdiction when a crime involves Government property, or funds,
|
||
or when only civilians are involved.
|
||
|
||
The FBI's responsibility with respect to foreign counterintelligence, within
|
||
the United States, is to detect, lawfully counteract, and/or prevent espionage
|
||
and other clandestine intelligence activities, sabotage, international
|
||
terrorist activities, or assassinations conducted for or on behalf of foreign
|
||
powers, organizations, or persons. The FBI also investigates murders,
|
||
kidnappings, and assaults against foreign diplomatic officials while in the
|
||
United States, as well as damage to property of foreign governments in the
|
||
United States.
|
||
|
||
Organization
|
||
|
||
The FBI is an agency within the U.S. Department of Justice, which is lead by
|
||
the U.S. Attorney General. The head of the FBI is the Director who is appointed
|
||
by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate. Assistant directors
|
||
are the next level of command within the FBI. The FBI has ten assistant
|
||
directors who are accountable to the Director for all matters within their
|
||
sphere of operations.
|
||
|
||
The FBI has 59 field offices located in major cities throughout the United
|
||
States and in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Each, with the exception of the New York
|
||
Office which is headed by an Assistant Director, is under the direct
|
||
supervision of a Special Agent In Charge (SAIC). The SAIC is supervised and
|
||
receives directions from the FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C.
|
||
|
||
Each FBI Field Office has Resident Agencies which are local offices in some of
|
||
the larger cities within the field offices jurisdiction. Refer to the FBI field
|
||
office map for the sectioning of the field offices across the United States.
|
||

The list of Field Offices and RA's is not 100% accurate, updates please. The
|
||
number of RA's may differ from the call letter assignment block for a given
|
||
F.O. because many RA's were closed and consolidated during the Carter and early
|
||
Regan administrations. The call letters were assigned prior to their
|
||
administrations.
|
||
|
||
The F.O. call letters will be the first is an assigned block for a given F.O.
|
||
Example Cincinnati F.O. call is KQC 390 (or simply 390 as often will be heard)
|
||
or Cleveland F.O. call is KEX 740 (740).
|
||
|
||
The following is a list of Resident Agencies for the primary coverage states of
|
||
the AOSC. The list is as of 1 October 1987. I will send a copy of the FBI Field
|
||
Office and Resident Agency map for a SASE to those who desire a copy. A list of
|
||
RA's may be obtained from the map for your local area. The map will be a copy
|
||
of a copy, however it will be fairly legible. Note the two Ohio Field Office
|
||
lists are presented later in this column with the detailed Ohio data.

|
||
|
||
Chicago F.O. utilizes 8 banks, A through H. Channel banks C through H are not
|
||
confirmed to exact frequencies and usage. There are one way links in the upper
|
||
162, lower 164 and upper 165 MHz ranges. The one way links are often a control
|
||
station to a repeater site utilizing a directional antenna. The one way links
|
||
may also be a point-to-point relay of communications from an outer fringe RA to
|
||
the F.O.
|
||
|
||
Chicago appears to configured similarly as several other F.O.'s in that up to
|
||
five other VHF frequencies can be active with 163.9875 simultaneously with the
|
||
same radio traffic. Chicago F.O. also still uses some remote VHF receive/UHF
|
||
re-transmit link sites, but most are believed to be converted to microwave
|
||
links.
|
||
|
||
Also 167.7625 which Randy Strayer and this editor received via skip between KSC
|
||
210 and KSC 216. Channel identified as Bravo 1.

CINCINNATI FIELD OFFICE OPERATIONS
|
||
|
||
The Cincinnati Field Office originally had nine Resident Agencies which were
|
||
located in Athens, Chillicothe, Columbus, Dayton, Hamilton, Portsmouth,
|
||
Springfield, Steubenville and Zanesville. The Springfield office is closed and
|
||
I am not sure about the Zanesville R.A.
|
||
|
||
The CI F.O. and R.A.'s radio communication systems are DES (Digital Encryption
|
||
Standard) capable and are utilized on a regular basis. CI appears to have a 32
|
||
channel DES system in place as testing was monitored during 1988 and 1989. Most
|
||
of their frequencies remained the same from the previous DES days. Note that
|
||
the CI radios are VHF/UHF mobiles. Refer to the B channel series in the
|
||
frequency list.
|
||
|
||
The signal numbers do not appear to be squad base (logically grouping by
|
||
general agent function such as bank robbery squad or drug enforcement, or by
|
||
R.A.'s), but rather a numeric numbering scheme starting with 1 and into the low
|
||
100's.
|
||
|
||
The CI F.O./R.A. operations still need some work from our southern Ohio members
|
||
as allot of holes and gaps remain. The following profile on CI was mainly made
|
||
possible by the efforts of Bill Gillie, Tony Cono, Rick Poorman, another member
|
||
who desires to named Mr. Anonymous, and this editor.
|
||
|
||
NOTE: ALL OHIO data is confirmed unless noted otherwise.

CLEVELAND FIELD OFFICE OPERATIONS
|
||
|
||
The Cleveland Field Office originally had 10 Resident Agencies located in
|
||
Akron, Canton, Elyria, Lima, Mansfield, Mentor, Painesville, Sandusky, Toledo
|
||
and Youngstown. The Mentor R.A. currently is the only R.A. out of service in
|
||
the CV division.
|
||
|
||
The CV F.O. And R.A.'s radio communication system is DES capable and utilized
|
||
quite often in the DES mode. The CV F.O. has been in DES since the mid-eighties
|
||
on a limited basis and a full system since early 1989. The CV system appears to
|
||
be a 64 channel system which was implemented during the latter part of 1989.
|
||
|
||
The CV division utilizes a squad numbering scheme for assignment of signal
|
||
numbers. There are still a few holes in the numbering, but for the most part it
|
||
is complete.

FBI COMMON FREQUENCY RANGES
|
||
|
||
I suggest searching the following frequency ranges for FBI radio activity. Note
|
||
that in many areas across the U.S. the FBI have picked up many traditional
|
||
non-FBI frequencies. Originally the Department of Justice had only 82 VHf
|
||
frequencies assigned for ALL of its members, let alone just the FBI. The FBI
|
||
originally had less than 40 of the 82 frequencies for their exclusive use.
|
||
|
||
During the change over to DES nationwide, the FBI has received additional
|
||
frequencies from other branches and departments who did not utilize or need
|
||
them. In the NE region the FBI received 110 VHF frequencies - almost 300%
|
||
increase in the number of frequencies available. The early days saw the FBI in
|
||
the 163 MHz range for repeaters and the 167 MHz range for simplex operations.
|
||
|
||
Limit your search to 500 KHz at a time, certainly no more than a 1 MHz. The
|
||
following are common ranges reported nationwide:
|
||
|
||
162.6125 - 162.7875 Repeater Inputs; Outputs; 12.5KHz steps
|
||
163.825 - 163.9875 Repeater Outputs; 12.5KHz steps
|
||
164.000 - 164.500 Repeater Outputs; 25KHz steps
|
||
165.5125 - 165.900 Repeater Outputs; 12.5KHz steps
|
||
167.100 - 167.7875 Repeater Inputs; Outputs; Simplex; 12.5KHz steps
|
||
168.825 - 169.000 Repeater Inputs; 25KHz steps
|
||
169.825 - 169.975 Repeater Outputs; 25KHz steps

FEDERAL NEWS - FBI
|
||
|
||
The FCC has established a nationwide radio frequency for stolen vehicle
|
||
tracking systems operating on the frequency of 173.025. The frequency was
|
||
reported as a FBI assignment (wouldn't we like to see the exact frequency
|
||
assignment chart?) Nationwide. Perhaps this frequency was used for wireless
|
||
microphones or bugs, and if so perhaps others operate on nearby similar
|
||
frequencies. Give it a listen and let us know.
|
||
|
||
The FBI Academy, located 40 miles south of Washington, is the host to the most
|
||
crime ridden town in the United States - Hogan's Alley. Hogan's Alley is a
|
||
"Hollywood" town with a motel, bank, post office, drug store, laundry and even
|
||
a theater. It is used as a training ground for FBI agent trainees. Various
|
||
scenarios are enacted under the careful eyes of supervisors. The trainees
|
||
performance are evaluated with each exercise.
|

One thing about Hogan's Alley - it has a 100% success rate in solving of cases,
|
||
pretty impressive. Something that is not pretty impressive about the FBI is the
|
||
starting pay agents earn. According to a 8 January 1990 U.S. News and World
|
||
Report quirk the starting pay of a FBI agent is $26,261. Consider that an agent
|
||
does not choice his assignment location, the agent could be placed in a very
|
||
high cost of living area. Placement in certain cities such as NYC offer
|
||
slightly more pay, however it is not enough for the work that they perform for
|
||
all of us. Yet even worse is the pay for DEA agents $19,493 to $23,846.
|
||
|
||
The Congress is aware of these low salaries (after all they, the Congressmen
|
||
and Senators literally took care of themselves) and will hopefully rectify the
|
||
problem this year.
