On July 26, 2008, the Federal Bureau of Investigation celebrated 100 years of public service. The FBI's internet web site can give you insights into the past and what the FBI plans are for the future.  In the meantime, the FBI started as a small group of 34 investigators and has grown into a cadre of more than 30,000 employees, evolving right along with the changing threats facing our nation. 

Our Special Agents assigned to investigate violent crimes continue to pursue bank robbers, who threaten the employees of our local banks, the customers in the banks, and the citizens in our community.   

Our Special Agents work diligently to investigate bank robbers.  The Special Agents collect  all types of evidence during the commission of a bank robbery. 

The new technology of DNA has given the Special Agents a new tool in identifying and apprehending these violent criminals.  This technology is a very specific science and years of education and training are necessary before our scientists are able to extract DNA from items of  evidence.  The procedure of extracting DNA is a very timely examination. 

These types of evidence examinations are not like the crime scene television shows which  collected DNA evidence, analyzed the evidence, and arrest the subject in one hour.

One of the major sources of information developed to identify criminals has always been the citizens in our communities that have information about a specific crime.  Bank robbery is no different and a majority of the identifications of bank robbers is TIPS through our community.  

So please take the time to look through all the bank robbery photographs from each of the three Florida FBI Divisions.  There might be someone that you have met recently or may have moved into your neighborhood that matches one of the subjects.  Fill out our TIPS form and help us all take these type of people out of our communities.   

We will be updating this bank robbery site and adding a range of new photographs from Florida's bank robberies.
