Welcome
Welcome to the Alabama Bureau of Investigation (ABI) Division. The ABI functions
as the investigative branch 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 such as the Latent Print Unit,
Hazardous Devices Unit (Bomb Squad), and the Alabama Fusion Center to assist our
partners in the law enforcement community. The ABI is not a first responder agency
and investigations are conducted upon request by a criminal justice agency. 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.
