|
|
<p>SYSTEM PROFILE - The FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>History</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent> traces its roots back to the year 1908 when then U.S. Attorney General
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Charles Bonaparte</ent> directed that Department of Justice investigations be handled
|
|
by a small group of special investigators. The group was formed as <ent type='ORG'>the Bureau</ent>
|
|
of Investigation and, in 1935, the present day name was designated by <ent type='ORG'>Congress</ent>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Duties</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The primary functions of the <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent> and its agents are the investigations of
|
|
violations of certain <ent type='ORG'>Federal</ent> statutes and the collection of evidence in cases
|
|
in which <ent type='GPE'>the United</ent> States is or may be an interested party. The <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent> performs
|
|
other duties specifically imposed by law or Presidential directive and conducts
|
|
a number of service activities for other law enforcement agencies. The <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent> can
|
|
investigate a matter only when it has authority to do so under a law passed by
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Congress</ent> or on instructions of the President or the Attorney General.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent> is not a <ent type='ORG'>Federal</ent> police force, it is a fact-finding organization
|
|
investigating violations of <ent type='ORG'>Federal</ent> laws and its authority is strictly limited
|
|
to matters within its jurisdiction. <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent> agents may make arrests without a
|
|
warrant for any <ent type='ORG'>Federal</ent> 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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>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 <ent type='ORG'>Federal</ent> 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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent> has no authority to investigate local crimes which are not within its
|
|
jurisdiction. The <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent> will, however, render all possible assistance to the
|
|
local police through the <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent> Laboratory and Identification Division. The <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent>
|
|
LID maintains fingerprint files on approximately 70 million (yes, million)
|
|
people. The <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent> also maintains <ent type='ORG'>the National Crime Information Center</ent> (<ent type='ORG'>NCIC</ent>)
|
|
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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <ent type='ORG'>NCIC</ent> is a computerized information system established by the <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent> as a
|
|
service to all criminal justice agencies: local, state and <ent type='ORG'>Federal</ent>. 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 <ent type='GPE'>the United</ent> States, <ent type='GPE'>Canada</ent> and <ent type='GPE'>Puerto Rico</ent>. Many times when
|
|
monitoring the local or county police/sheriff departments a reference to a <ent type='ORG'>NCIC</ent>
|
|
check is heard.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent> is involved in criminal investigations and foreign counterintelligence
|
|
efforts. Most notably criminal investigations are those of bank robberies and
|
|
kidnapping cases. The <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent> can also investigate criminal activity associated
|
|
with interstate transportation of stolen property, and the <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent> 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 <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent> has jurisdiction when a crime involves Government property, or funds,
|
|
or when only civilians are involved.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The FBI's responsibility with respect to foreign counterintelligence, within
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>the United</ent> 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 <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent> 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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Organization</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent> is an agency within the U.S. Department of Justice, which is lead by
|
|
the U.S. Attorney General. The head of the <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent> 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 <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent>. The <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent> has ten assistant
|
|
directors who are accountable to the Director for all matters within their
|
|
sphere of operations.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent> has 59 field offices located in major cities throughout <ent type='GPE'>the United</ent>
|
|
States and in <ent type='GPE'>San Juan</ent>, <ent type='GPE'>Puerto Rico</ent>. Each, with the exception of the <ent type='GPE'>New York</ent>
|
|
Office which is headed by an Assistant Director, is under the direct
|
|
supervision of a Special Agent In Charge (<ent type='ORG'>SAIC</ent>). The <ent type='ORG'>SAIC</ent> is supervised and
|
|
receives directions from the <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent> headquarters in <ent type='GPE'>Washington</ent>, D.C.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Each <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent> Field Office has <ent type='ORG'>Resident Agencies</ent> which are local offices in some of
|
|
the larger cities within the field offices jurisdiction. Refer to the <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent> field
|
|
office map for the sectioning of the field offices across <ent type='GPE'>the United</ent> States.

number of RA's may differ from the call letter assignment block for a given

<p><ent type='GPE'>CINCINNATI</ent> FIELD OFFICE OPERATIONS</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <ent type='GPE'>Cincinnati</ent> Field Office originally had nine <ent type='ORG'>Resident Agencies</ent> which were
|
|
located in <ent type='GPE'>Athens</ent>, <ent type='GPE'>Chillicothe</ent>, <ent type='GPE'>Columbus</ent>, <ent type='GPE'>Dayton</ent>, <ent type='GPE'>Hamilton</ent>, <ent type='GPE'>Portsmouth</ent>,
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>Springfield</ent>, <ent type='GPE'>Steubenville</ent> and <ent type='GPE'>Zanesville</ent>. The <ent type='GPE'>Springfield</ent> office is closed and
|
|
I am not sure about the <ent type='GPE'>Zanesville</ent> R.A.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The CI F.O./R.A. operations still need some work from our southern <ent type='GPE'>Ohio</ent> members
|
|
as allot of holes and gaps remain. The following profile on CI was mainly made
|
|
possible by the efforts of <ent type='PERSON'>Bill Gillie</ent>, <ent type='PERSON'>Tony Cono</ent>, <ent type='PERSON'>Rick Poorman</ent>, another member

|
who desires to named Mr. Anonymous, and this editor.</p>

|
the CV division.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>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.</p>

<p>That is 22 unique confirmed frequencies and there are probably more out there

in CV. Also try 168.000 as it may be a VHF fixed one-way link.</p>

<p><ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent> COMMON FREQUENCY RANGES</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I suggest searching the following frequency ranges for <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent> radio activity. Note
|
|
that in many areas across the U.S. the <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent> have picked up many traditional
|
|
non-<ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent> frequencies. Originally <ent type='ORG'>the Department</ent> of Justice had only 82 VHf
|
|
frequencies assigned for ALL of its members, let alone just the <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent>. The <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent>
|
|
originally had less than 40 of the 82 frequencies for their exclusive use.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>During the change over to DES nationwide, the <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent> has received additional
|
|
frequencies from other branches and departments who did not utilize or need
|
|
them. In the NE region the <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent> received 110 VHF frequencies - almost 300%
|
|
increase in the number of frequencies available. The early days saw the <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent> in
|
|
the 163 MHz range for repeaters and the 167 MHz range for simplex operations.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Limit your search to 500 KHz at a time, certainly no more than a 1 MHz. The
|
|
following are common ranges reported nationwide:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> 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</p>

<p>FEDERAL NEWS - <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <ent type='ORG'>FCC</ent> has established a nationwide radio frequency for stolen vehicle
|
|
tracking systems operating on the frequency of 173.025. The frequency was
|
|
reported as a <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent> assignment (wouldn't we like to see the exact frequency
|
|
assignment chart?) <ent type='ORG'>Nationwide</ent>. 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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent> Academy, located 40 miles south of <ent type='GPE'>Washington</ent>, is the host to the most
|
|
crime ridden town in <ent type='GPE'>the United</ent> States - Hogan's <ent type='ORG'>Alley</ent>. Hogan's <ent type='ORG'>Alley</ent> is a
|
|
"<ent type='GPE'>Hollywood</ent>" town with a motel, bank, post office, drug store, laundry and even
|
|
a theater. It is used as a training ground for <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent> agent trainees. Various
|
|
scenarios are enacted under the careful eyes of supervisors. The trainees
|
|
performance are evaluated with each exercise.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>One thing about Hogan's <ent type='ORG'>Alley</ent> - it has a 100% success rate in solving of cases,
|
|
pretty impressive. Something that is not pretty impressive about the <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent> is the
|
|
starting pay agents earn. According to a 8 January 1990 U.S. News and World
|
|
Report quirk the starting pay of a <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent> agent is $26261. 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 <ent type='GPE'>NYC</ent> 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 <ent type='ORG'>DEA</ent> agents $19493 to $23846.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <ent type='ORG'>Congress</ent> is aware of these low salaries (after all they, the <ent type='ORG'>Congress</ent>men
|
|
and Senators literally took care of themselves) and will hopefully rectify the
|
|
problem this year.
