FBI Science and Technology Branch: Crime Fighters in White Lab Coats

20 Inch FBI STB 300x225 FBI Science and Technology Branch: Crime Fighters in White Lab CoatsKnown to us as an intelligence-driven and a threat-focused national security and law enforcement organization, FBI’s core mission is to protect and defend the United States against terrorist and foreign intelligence threats with the aim of upholding and enforcing the criminal laws of the United States, and to provide leadership and criminal justice services to federal, state, municipal, and international agencies and partners.

In their list of priorities, the FBI focuses on threats that challenge the foundations of the country. The FBI supports states on crimes that local authorities cannot handle alone.

The Science and Technology branch, lead by Louis E. Grevner, is responsible for the discovery, development, and delivery of innovative, technically-enabled investigative and analytical capabilities. The primary mission of the branch is to facilitate the application of innovative scientific, engineering and technical solutions in support of intelligence and investigative requirements. The branch’s contribution to the modern developments of crime solving is astounding.

Heavily portrayed in films, the agency’s headquarters is located in the J. Edgar Hoover Building, located in Washington, D.C.. The FBI headquarters has fifty-six field office scattered in major cities throughout the United States. In addition to this, there are more than 50 international offices called “legal attaches” that can be found in U.S. embassies and consulates general worldwide.

Decoding the Army Seal

dept of army l 1 1 300x296 Decoding the Army Seal

Background

Before the Army Seal is worn to identify and symbolize the U.S. Department of the Army, it was originally used to authenticate documents during the American Revolution and was not made available for public display. First used in 1778, it remained unaltered until 1974, when the War Office banner was changed with “Department of the Army”.

Description

The Institute of Heraldry described the seal as:

In the center is a Roman cuirass below a vertical unsheathed sword, point up, the pommel resting on the neck opening of the cuirass and a Phrygian cap supported on the sword point, all between on the right an esponton and on the left a musket with fixed bayonet crossed in saltire behind the cuirass and passing under the sword guard.  To the right of the cuirass and esponton is a flag of unidentified designs with cords and tassels, on a flagstaff with spearhead, above a cannon barrel, the muzzle end slanting upward behind the cuirass, in front of the drum, with two drumsticks and the fly end of the flag draped over the drumhead; below, but partly in front of the cannon barrel, is a pile of three cannon balls. To the left of the cuirass and musket is a national color of the Revolutionary War period, with cords and tassels, on a flagstaff with spearhead, similarly arranged above a mortar on a carriage, the mortar facing inward and in front of the lower portion of the color and obscuring the lower part of it; below the mortar are two bomb shells placed side by side.  Centered above the Phrygian cap is a rattlesnake holding in its mouth a scroll inscribed “This We’ll Defend.”  Centered below the cuirass are the Roman numerals         “MDCCLXXVIII.”

Symbolism

The Roman cuirass, placed at the center of the seal symbolizes strength and defense. Army implements, on the other hand, are represented by the sword, esponton, musket, bayonet, cannon, cannon balls, mortar, and mortar bombs.

Current use

Today, the seal is recognized as an embodiment of the U.S. Army’s ideals of loyalty, vigilance, perseverance, truth, courage, zeal, fortitude, remembrance determination, constancy, achievement, dignity, and honor.
