The FBI has published “The FBI: A Decade in Numbers,” which illustrates changes the Bureau has implemented since the 9/11 attacks.

The four-page document provides a visual representation of accomplishments, strategic shifts, and how the Bureau’s role in intelligence gathering and criminal investigations has evolved over the past decade. Since 2001, the FBI has focused on the most violent criminals, the largest and most complex fraud schemes, the most sophisticated and dangerous computer intrusions, and the most corrupt public officials.

An overview of the criminal and cyber programs states: “Although the FBI has shifted substantial resources to national security, since 2001, the FBI’s criminal and cyber programs have conducted 224,586 arrests, resulting in 185,386 indictments and informations, ultimately yielding 171,241 convictions.”

The FBI has become a threat-focused, intelligence-driven organization. Among the many statistics illustrated in the document:

• Intelligence analysts on board increased 203 percent–from 1,023 in fiscal year (FY) 2001 to 3,104 in FY2010.
• The FBI disrupted six times as many terrorist activities in FY2010 as in FY2001–from three disruptions in FY2001 to 18 disruptions in FY2010.
• The Bureau has assigned 104 personnel to 59 fusion centers to provide intelligence support to state/local law enforcement partners.

The report also describes the expansion of FBI partnerships since 2001 and its expanded role in training law enforcement partners in the U.S. and abroad. The FBI has always relied on partners, and the last decade has shown the value of combining forces, often through joint task forces. From FY2001 to FY2010, the document shows, task forces were responsible for 50,396, or 29 percent, of the FBI’s convictions obtained, and information obtained from industry, academia, and the public was critical to nearly every FBI investigation.
