The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) is headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, and operates eight district offices across the state. The SBI provides investigative assistance to local law enforcement agencies when requested by local police, sheriffs, district attorneys, and/or judges. They have original jurisdiction in several areas, including drug investigations, arson, election law violations, child sexual abuse, human trafficking, environmental crimes, and computer crimes that involve crimes against children. The SBI's specialized Behavioral Threat Assessment (BeTA) unit is staffed by law enforcement officers, intelligence analysts, and mental health professionals. Their mission is to identify, investigate, evaluate, and manage individuals within North Carolina who are perceived as having a motive or the potential to commit a targeted attack. The SBI also maintains the North Carolina Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ISAAC), which facilitates information sharing between state and federal law enforcement agencies. The SBI employs over 468 employees and has nearly 250 sworn special agents who work tirelessly to uphold the law in North Carolina.
