Partnerships
Our partnerships strengthen public safety nationwide.
Joint task forces
Task forces unite federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies to share intelligence, conduct investigations, and coordinate arrests in terrorism, gang, cybercrime, crimes against children, and human trafficking cases.
Services and data
The FBI's Criminal Justice Information Services Division, or CJIS, is a high-tech hub that provides a range of state of-the-art tools and services-including crime data and tip processing-to law enforcement, national security and intelligence community partners, and the general public.
Training and professional development
The FBI offers training opportunities to U.S. and international agencies and partners. The range of professional courses, to include the National Academy, serves to improve the administration of justice and to raise law enforcement standards, knowledge, and cooperation worldwide.
Crisis response
The Critical Incident Response Group (CIRG) is responsible for the Bureau's global readiness and response to the world's most complex, high-consequence threats. When conventional solutions are exhausted, CIRG provides the decisive resolution required to protect the nation and uphold the law.
Cyber
The success of the FBI Cyber mission depends on our partnerships-with law enforcement, intelligence agencies, and the private sector. Our partners play an integral role in defending against a cyberthreat no agency can face alone.
Law enforcement engagement

Great to be in New York addressing over 150 of our law enforcement partners supporting FBI-led Joint Terrorism Task Forces—our initiative investigating terrorist threats across the country and the world, sharing intelligence, and responding to critical incidents. ... As we approach the 25th anniversary of 9/11 this task force is more important than ever and one of our most successful multi-agency initiatives. Since the start of the Trump administration we’ve seen almost 1,100 terrorists disrupted (up 20%), 55 foreign terrorist organizations dismantled (up 96%)—and so far in just 2026 alone, we’ve already disrupted over 400 terrorist plots at home and around the world. None of it is possible without these brilliant partners.
