Agents also develop cases on their own or with he help of the citizens. Once, they solve a case or they have enough evidence, they send it to the U.S. Attorney's office in Sacramento, for prosecution. There are other times when they have to go out and apprehend criminals and fugitives. They also conduct background checks for potential political candidates, FBI candidates and criminals. They go out and conduct investigations, sometimes consisting of interviews.
Every day is different and exciting.
