The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has consolidated its Memphis and Knoxville field offices into a single office in Nashville as of Oct. 1. This decision, made after more than eight years of evaluation, aims to better serve Tennessee by having one office covering the entire state, the Daily Memphian reports. The FBI has also increased the number of investigative agents across the state from 170 to 200, with 10 of the 30 new agents already in place. In a statement, Memphis Mayor Paul Young said he believed the change “wouldn’t impact the level of support” Memphis gets from the FBI. The FBI has had a field office in Memphis since before 1925.
