Won't speak for the intelligence side, given how much of that stuff is very obviously something we're not privy too, outside some vague the Service and the FBI (I guess they're the closest comparative here - feel free to correct me 'muricans, but you guys don't have a direct comparative for domestic focused intelligence agency), deal with an awful lot and have funding to match - whereas the PSIA doesn't really.

However, on the police side, I can't agree more. I could write whole dissertations on just how useless the Japanese police are. Of all the first world countries with similar standings, they are probably the worst by almost any metric.

Where is @Saku, I'm sure they'll back me on this.

FBI is domestic. CIA is international.

Aware, thanks.

It's more I've always gotten the feeling that FBI are police+, and with an unequal footing with the CIA. This relationship isn't really mirrored in most other countries which have a more direct domestic vs international breakdown with fairly similar structures.

I mean you'd never for example see someone in MI5 arresting someone.

Feel free to correct me if this is a mistaken impression.

I think a large part of the FBI is to deal with federal-level crimes as opposed to crimes that are dealt with at the state/county/municipal level - so, things like mail fraud and transporting stolen goods across state lines and espionage and stuff. They also seem to get involved when there's a serial killer or something, but I think that' s more a matter of being able to provide extra resources than the need for spying.

FBI is domestic (and more law enforcement focused rather than intelligence, although obviously there's some overlap), CIA is nominally foreign. And then you have Homeland Security with its slew of agencies and all the military agencies and things, of course. US intelligence is complicated.
