For 100 years, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has protected the country and now, for the first time ever, the Bureau is allowing National Geographic to take a glimpse at what agents do in the field every day.
With a population of 1.7 million under their jurisdiction, the Norfolk, Virginia, bureau works to bring some of humanity's nastiest individuals to justice. Trained in the use of deadly force and the latest forensic science techniques, these agents don't spend their lives kicking in doors and solving cases in an hour. Long, careful preparation, the wrangling of informants and the latest high-tech weapons help them protect the city's strategic maritime assets as well as bust a multi-million dollar cocaine ring that's been in their sights for ten years.
