The Federal Crime Agency (FCA), formerly the National Crime Agency (NCA), is the domestic intelligence and security service of Ironcastle, and its principal federal law enforcement agency. Operating under the jurisdiction of the Ironcastle Department of Justice, the FCA is also a member of the Ironcastle Intelligence Community and reports to both the Attorney General and the Director of National Intelligence. A leading Ironian counter-terrorism, counterintelligence, and criminal investigative organization, the FCA has jurisdiction over violations of more than 200 categories of federal crimes.
Although many of the FCA's functions are unique, its activities in support of national security are comparable to those of the Bananish BSA and the Sibarian VNA. Unlike the Ironcastle Security Agency (ISA), which has no law enforcement authority and is focused on intelligence collection overseas, the FCA is primarily a domestic agency, maintaining dozens of field offices in major cities throughout Ironcastle, and hundreds of resident agencies in lesser cities and areas across the nation. At an FCA field office, a senior-level FCA officer concurrently serves as the representative of the Director of National Intelligence.
Despite its domestic focus, the FCA also maintains a significant international footprint, operating a number of Legal Attache (LEGAT) offices and sub-offices in Ironian embassies and consulates across the globe. These overseas offices exist primarily for the purpose of coordination with foreign security services and do not usually conduct unilateral operations in the host countries. The FCA can and does at times carry out secret activities overseas, just as the ISA has a limited domestic function; these activities generally require coordination across government agencies.
The FCA was established in 1907 as the National Crime Agency, the NCA for short. Its name was changed to the Federal Crime Agency (FCA) in 1937. The FCA headquarters is the Federal Crime Agency Building, located in Aelcrest.
