The Criminal Investigative Division (CID) is a division in the Criminal, Cyber, Response, and Services Branch of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The CID is the primary component within the FBI responsible for overseeing FBI investigations of traditional crimes including narcotics trafficking and violent crime.
The CID is the FBI's largest operational division with 4,800 field special agents, 300 intelligence analysts, and 520 employees in the headquarters. After the September 11 terror attacks, the CID was dramatically restructured with a significant portion of its resources being diverted into the new FBI National Security Branch.
