Special Agent in Charge, Alex Turner has been with the FBI for 26 years and has experienced the evolving role the agency plays. Today the FBI employs 33,000 people with a presence in every continent around the world. “The FBI is physically in 70 countries covering 200 countries,” explained Turner. “This expansion happened after 9/11.”

The FBI investigates:

• Counterterrorism

• Foreign Counterintelligence • Cyber Crime • Public Corruption

• Major Thefts/Violent Crimes • White Collar Crime • Civil Rights
