With no other weapon than courage, resourcefulness and determination, they had

to track down and apprehend dangerous racketeers and flies. Today, however, you will find that the typical FBI agent may be a lawyer, a accountant, or specialist in some other profession. But thoroughly trained in scientific police methods and handy with any type of weapon.
