"T" Directorate

"T" Directorate, informally known as the Criminal Intelligence Directorate, is a directorate of the Joint Security Committee (JSC), which is responsible for most law enforcement operations under federal jurisdiction. The directorate possesses state-of-the-art investigation and forensics technology, and commands multiple specialised departments responsible for criminal intelligence operations and forensic pathology. The directorate is also responsible for assisting other police and security agencies with major operations. Its counterpart is the Federal Auxiliary Police Service, the only uniformed law enforcement agency of the federal government, which is responsible for all federal policing operations not handled by JSC or other federal agencies.

Organisation
The various distinct responsibilities of the directorate are divided amongst multiple subordinate authorities, operational police and security agencies, bureaucratic offices, and scientific institutions:

Agencies

 * Federal Investigative Service: The premier criminal investigations department of the federal government, considered one of the most prolific, effective, and progressive detective's agencies in the Arab Union;
 * National Bureau of Forensic Pathology: The premier crime lab of the federal government: the bureau oversees a laboratory of world-class technology in the field of forensic pathology as well as a large, highly organised and efficient crime scene forensic investigation department, a department employing cutting-edge facial recognition and reconstruction technology and sophisticated digital and electronic tracking capabilities, and many other departments specialising in all fields of criminal investigational science.
 * National Bureau of Forensic Psychology: The premier agency of the federal government handling criminal psychology investigations, including behaviour analysis, identifying, tracking and pursuit of serial killers and serial rapists, tracking kidnappings and kidnapper(s), and investigation and prevention of other major crimes likely influenced by psychological disturbance, as well as providing consultation with other agencies (federal and republican/territorial) regarding criminal psychology;
 * National Bureau of Criminal Intelligence: The premier agency responsible for identifying, tracking, infiltrating and ultimately destroying major organised crime operations, as well as for maintaining a comprehensive network of informants within the national criminal community;

Other offices

 * National Office of the Policing and Security Budget: Oversees the funding of all federal law enforcement operations, most notably the "T" Directorate, and also supplements the funding of republican and territorial police agencies, which are funded primarily by republican/territorial governments;
 * Federal Office of Criminal Data: Records and preserves all information obtained by the directorate, and maintains the federal police database;
 * Federal Police Technical Office: Procures, produces, and/or maintains all electronic and digital hardware and software used by the directorate;
 * Federal Police Maintenance Office: Procures, maintains and repairs all vehicles and other heavy equipment used by the directorate;
 * National Civilian Armoury: The premier civilian armoury of the federal government; in addition to its primary responsibility of overseeing the arming of the directorate, the Joint Security Committee, and other federal police and security agencies, the armoury also functions as the federal arms control agency in that it tracks all firearms and explosives purchased and/or registered in the Arab Union; the National Civilian Armoury also runs the namesake physical armoury in Ibrahimia, which is now mostly used as a museum which is one of the capital city's primary political attractions.
