Critical Incident Response Group (CIRG)

The Critical Incident Response Group (CIRG) is a specialized division within the FBI that prepares for and manages responses to major emergencies and crises, such as terrorist attacks, hostage situations, or large-scale incidents. It provides expert support, including tactical operations, crisis management, and forensic analysis, to law enforcement agencies and first responders. CIRG’s goal is to ensure an effective, coordinated response to critical incidents, helping to protect lives, stabilize situations, and gather crucial evidence. They also offer training and advanced technology to enhance the response efforts of various agencies during high-stakes events.
