The FIB Logo
The Federal Investigation Bureau (FIB) is the domestic intelligence and security service of the United States. It serves a dual role as the nation's foremost federal law enforcement agency and a federal-level law enforcement agency.
It operates under the jurisdiction of the US Department of Justice and has superiority over municipal, state and county police forces. As an agency it is responsible for counterterrorism, counterintelligence, a wide range of criminal investigations and has jurisdiction over more than two hundred federal crimes. The FIB is one of America's highest level law enforcement agencies operating as a federal agency on a national level.
The FIB appear in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V as a federal-level law enforcement agency. Like NOOSE, they will attempt to kill the player rather than arresting him in the fashion of the LCPD and the LSPD. This is likely because they are only called in when the player becomes too great of a threat to be taken alive. They also appear in Brotherhood Rising where they are encountered monitoring the Devils Chosen MC and its members after the motorcycle club becomes involved in serious crime.
