The United States federal law enforcement agencies are components of the Department of Justice. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives confronts violent crime driven by the illegal use of firearms, explosives and arson, and its agents focus on dismantling illegal firearms traffickers. The Drug Enforcement Administration enforces the controlled substances laws and brings to justice the organizations and principal members involved in the growing, manufacture or distribution of controlled substances destined for illicit traffic in the United States. The FBI is a national security and law enforcement agency that uses, collects and shares intelligence, and the Marshals Service provides security for federal court facilities, apprehends criminals and holds custody of federal prisoners.
