Enrichment (EN)

Disambiguation: The Bureau of Investigation (1908–1933) is the direct predecessor of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI, established 1935). Do not confuse with other bureaus or divisions within the Department of Justice. After 1935, the organization is referred to as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

The Bureau of Investigation (BI) was the federal law enforcement and investigative agency of the United States Department of Justice, established on July 26, 1908 by Attorney General Charles Bonaparte with an initial staff of 34 special agents. It served as the precursor to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, undergoing organizational restructuring in 1933 when it merged with the Bureau of Prohibition to become the Division of Investigation (1933–1935), before being officially renamed the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in 1935. The organization investigated federal crimes and received numerous reports of unidentified aerial phenomena throughout its operational history; FBI files were later included in the May 2026 declassified U.S. government UAP documents release.
