"T" Directorate

"T" Directorate (Arabic: ادارة ت idārat tā’), informally known as the Criminal Intelligence Directorate (ادارة المخابرات الجنائية idārat al-mukhābarāt al-jinā’īyah), is a directorate of the Joint Security Committee, the premier security agency of the Arab Union. "T" Directorate is an investigative agency which is responsible for investigating serious crimes which fall under federal jurisdiction, including but not limited to major violent crimes, serial or spree murders, organised crime, and missing persons. The directorate possesses state-of-the-art investigation and forensics technology, and commands multiple specialised departments responsible for criminal intelligence operations and forensic science and pathology as well as financial forensics. The directorate is also responsible for assisting other police and security agencies with major operations. Its uniformed counterpart is the Territorial Police, the only traditional law enforcement agency of the federal government, which is responsible for all other federal law enforcement matters.

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;
