2013 The FBI Story (Black and White) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781506191805)

A glimpse of the challenges we faced-and what we achieved together-can be found in this latest edition of The FBI Story, our annual collection of news and feature articles from the Bureau's public website. Here you can read about some of our most successful recent major investigations and operations. These include a three-day nationwide sweep targeting child prostitution in which we identified and rescued more than 100 young victims and arrested more than 150 pimps;the rescue of a 5-year-old boy held captive in a heavily armed bunker in Alabama; and the uncovering of the largest domestic bribery and bid-rigging scheme in the history of federal contracting cases-one that siphoned more than $30 million dollars of taxpayer money.This edition of The FBI Story also highlightssome of the Bureau's remarkable capabilities.You will find a multi-part series on our eliteHostage Rescue Team-which marked its30th anniversary this past year-and a featureon the Terrorist Explosive Device AnalyticalCenter (TEDAC)-an FBI-established, multiagencyoperation that celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2013.For the FBI, 2013 was a year of transition, as my predecessor, Robert S. Mueller, III, completed his extraordinary 12-year tenure at the helm of the Bureau. Director Mueller guided the FBI in the aftermath of the September 11th attacks and spearheaded the Bureau's transformation into an intelligence driven, threat-focused agency capable of confronting today's global security threats.Following Bob Mueller is both a great challengeand a tremendous privilege. In my first monthsas Director, I have been meeting with our partners in the law enforcement and intelligence communities both in the United States and abroad. I want to ensure that we maintain open lines of communication about the work we are doing in our respective communities so that we can continue to build strong relationships to carry us into the future. Those same open and honest lines of communication are equally crucial for our private sector partners and the citizens we serve. Ilook forward to working with all of you in the months and years to come.
