The FBI’s Jewelry & Gem Theft program—created in 1992—offers investigative assistance and intelligence on theft groups to law enforcement and partners with the jewelry industry to create a unified and coordinated approach to this crime threat. The FBI is involved in this types are thefts for several reasons: The thefts usually cross state and even national boundaries—so they need a federal agency with offices across the nation and overseas to investigate these highly mobile jewelry thieves; these crimes are increasingly committed by organized criminal enterprises or theft groups that likewise require a federal agency with tough laws and with offices across the U.S. and overseas; and these groups are often involved in other kinds of organized crime activities already under scrutiny by the FBI.
