Federal Bureau of Investigation

**Mission and Priorities****Our mission is to protect the American people and uphold the U.S. Constitution.** **Strategy Elements** **Mission** Our mission encompasses all that we do as an organization—protect the American people and uphold the Constitution of the United States. **Mission Priorities **Our mission priorities assist us to determine where to focus our efforts and resources in order to mitigate threats and move toward accomplishing our vision. The eight mission priorities outline how we protect the American people and uphold the Constitution of the United States. We considered these questions when determining our mission priorities: - What are those realities that most threaten the security of the United States? - What are the threats to our way of life that the American people need the FBI to address first? - To what degree do the threats fall most exclusively within the FBI’s jurisdiction and competencies? **Core Values** Our core values—respect, integrity, accountability, leadership, diversity, compassion, fairness, and rigorous obedience to the Constitution—are the foundation of our organization and should be incorporated into everything we do. **Enterprise Objectives** Our enterprise objectives are where we need to focus over the next three to five years to move the FBI forward. Our enterprise objectives each align to one of the guiding principles. **Guiding Principles** Our four guiding principles—people, partnerships, process, and innovation—help us organize the changes needed to accomplish our vision. **Vision** As we build momentum around our enterprise objectives, we will better accomplish our mission and begin to achieve our vision. Our vision is where we want to be:? Ahead of the Threat.
