Is there the organization such as FBI?

[Gadrin]

Here's a list of canon organizations from the Classic Traveller books. You'll see a Ministry of Justice

I've seen lots of non-canon writeups too, I think in Challenge Magazine:

offered MegaTraveller's IRIS... Challenge mag 33....

The Imperial Regency of Intelligence and Security:
They Also Serve Who Are Not Seen.

I've seen others too.

IMTU, the closes thing to the FBI are holders of imperial and sector warrants. (Sector warrants are IMTU,based upon imperial warrants, which are in Supplement 8 Library Data A-M...)

It seems to me thatthe OP implies the existence of one primary Imperial police agency. I rather imagine that due to bureaucracy's tendency to multiply would continue to hold and there would be hordes of police agencies, just there is in the US today. We have the FBI, INS, ATF, DEA, Coast Guard, and so on now. The 3I would lots more.

Just running through Gadrin's list, I could throw in

1. an agency of the Moot that would investigate & prosecute faked Patents of Nobility.

2. an agency of the Ministry of Colonization that provides basic police services for new colonies.

3. an agency of the Imperial Treasury that investigates counterfeiting of Imperial currency.

4. either an Imperial Judge Advocate General Corps, or one for each service.

5. a Minitry of Justice agency for general crimes on Imperial property.

and so on......there are lots of possibilities, not to mention the feudal aspects, like Domain agencies, Sector agencies or Subsector agencies. And surely Imperial Nobility with the power of High & Low Justice can appoint some sort of special constable/sheriff/ranger/ whatever.

Perhaps just my pre-Firefly/Serenity slant on such but I always saw the outer systems and frontier sectors as having territorial-provisional law enforcement left in the capable hands of local 'rangers' or 'zone' marshals.

When bigger 'guns' are needed, a call is placed to the naval-military outpost for the proverbial Calvary to ride in and save the day.

Yes, sounds reasonable.

I'd have them on a budget so they can hired qualified mercenary personnel to assist in moving witnesses to safe systems, arresting perps (SWAT team like support) and transporting prisoners, couriers etc.; when local law enforcement can't be used or won't cooperate, etc.
