.@FBILosAngeles trained with federal, state, and local partners for more than a year to gear up for any security challenges that might arise around the #SuperBowl, and stood up a 24/7 Intelligence Operation Center at its field office.
And on top of its in-house intelligence, cyber, and investigative capabilities, @FBILosAngeles had tactical and specialty teams deployed with their counterparts or on standby in case backup was needed.
Remarks by Director Christopher Wray to Anti-Defamation League on Hostage Incident in Colleyville, Texas go.usa.gov/xtkzr
Partnerships can help communities fight hate. Director Christopher Wray joined the @ADL’s #FightingHateFromHome webinar today to discuss how law enforcement and communities of all faiths can join together to combat violent extremism.
Wray: No member of a faith-based community should have to worry about acts of violence at their services. To be targeted at your place of worship, a space meant to be a sanctuary in every sense of the word, is ... one of the most heinous acts of violence that can be committed.
During a press conference today, Director Christopher Wray discussed how the #FBI can impose risk and consequences on #cybercriminals when we work with our national and international partners and the private sector. go.usa.gov/xejcC
Wray: Today's announcement ... demonstrates our resolve in pursuing criminal enterprises that use ransomware to threaten our critical infrastructure, our public health and safety, and our economic vitality.
Wray: We immediately strategized with our interagency #partners and reached a carefully considered decision about how to help the most companies possible, both by providing the key and by maximizing our government’s impact on our adversaries.
