Director Christopher Wray gave remarks at a conference today at #FBI Headquarters, emphasizing that workforce #diversity and #inclusion is the right thing to do, gives the FBI credibility, and makes the Bureau more effective.
Director Wray was joined by Scott McMillion, who was appointed in 2021 to lead the Bureau’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI) as the Chief Diversity Officer.
The FBI’s priority Initiative for #diversity has three goals: recruitment & selection of diverse candidates, representation of women & minorities in leadership, and shared accountability for a diverse & inclusive workforce.
When the #FBI releases its 2021 Crime in the United States data, it'll look different from previous releases in that it will only contain state and federal data reported by law enforcement to the Bureau. go.usa.gov/xSS44
Since some law enforcement agencies haven't begun using the National Incident-Based Reporting System to report crime data to the #FBI, a data gap resulted. Bureau experts will use tools developed in collaboration with @TheJusticeDept to bridge that gap. go.usa.gov/xSS2p
Crime estimation has been used with Crime in the United States releases for more than 50 years. We'll release a year-over-year trend study for violent & property crime. go.usa.gov/xSS44
Later in his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, #FBI Director Christopher Wray condemned the use of and threats of violence in the strongest possible terms, and stressed that the Bureau is dedicated to rooting out such behavior.
#FBI Director Wray also reiterated the Bureau's commitment to countering the threat posed by the government of China, and said the Bureau is working to get this risk out from the shadows and onto the threat radars of American citizens and our nation's international partners.
Wray also told the Senate Judiciary Committee that the #FBI is working to combat scams and criminal efforts that target specific populations. The targets of these crimes include American veterans, who, he noted, have long fueled much of the Bureau's workforce.
In his opening remarks to the Senate Judiciary Committee today, Director Christopher Wray discussed the #FBI's use of intelligence and partnerships to fight violent crime, stressed the importance of our mission, and expressed gratitude for our workforce: go.usa.gov/xSw5q
"At all levels of government and law enforcement, our fundamental duty is to make sure Americans can feel safe and secure in their own communities."—#FBI Director Christopher Wray go.usa.gov/xSw5q
The #FBI's task forces—which unite Bureau personnel with state and local partners—are the heart of our violent crime strategy, Wray said. We have more than 300 of these teams across the nation, collectively boasting nearly 3,000 members, he added. go.usa.gov/xSw5q
Today, the #FBI celebrates our 114th birthday! That's 114 years of fighting crime and terrorism, building partnerships, and providing victim assistance. We are proud to continue our work protecting the American people and upholding the U.S. Constitution.
