St. Louis to welcome surge of FBI agents, intel staff

ST. LOUIS – The Federal Bureau of Investigation will make a historic investment to fight violent crime in St. Louis.

The city will soon receive one of the largest per capita infusions of full-time agents and intel personnel in the nation.

Missouri U.S. Senator Eric Schmitt helped secure this investment.

"This permanent investment in St. Louis by the FBI will be coupled with increased multi-lateral joint agency operations…increasing overall crime fighting capacity and building upon the important work being done on the state level to restore public safety,” Schmitt said in a statement.
