CEOS, VCS and other units

There have been several subunits added over the years (the org chart is from 2014 and out of date), I've added a few units that are described in press releases, but the organization of who they are under isn't clear. I added them in where I think they go, but some work needs to be done to update the page. eximo (talk) 21:14, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

When President John F. Kennedy was shot and killed, the jurisdiction fell to the local police departments until President Lyndon B. Johnson directed the FBI to take over the investigation. To ensure clarity about the responsibility for investigation of homicides of federal officials, the Congress passed a law that included investigations of such deaths of federal officials, especially by homicide, within FBI jurisdiction. This new law was passed in 1965.

Requesting you change what's written I above to what I have written down below. It fixes some spelling errors
