Division Home
Welcome
Welcome to the Alabama Bureau of Investigation (ABI) Division. The ABI functions
as the investigative arm of the Alabama Department of Public Safety (DPS) and is
one of six divisions of the Department. The ABI provides investigation services
in support of other members of the criminal justice system in Alabama. In addition
to criminal investigations, the ABI also delivers several other services through
the various components of the division to assist our partners in the law enforcement
community. Some of these services are offered by our Hazardous Devices Unit (Bomb
Squad), Criminal Information Center, and the Latent Print Unit to name just a few.
Members of the ABI also provide law enforcement services for operations with the
other DPS divisions, such as in times of natural disaster and other special details.
I am extremely proud of the history of the ABI and the great accomplishments by
its members. It is my personal mission to direct the ABI towards the future while
upholding its proud traditions. I invite you to explore this site and learn more
details about the functions and high quality professional services of the ABI.
