The Police Bureau of Investigation (Bengali: পুলিশ ব্যুরো অব ইনভেস্টিগেশন, romanized: Puliśa byurō aba inabhēsṭigēśana; abbreviated as PBI) is a specialized investigative agency under the Bangladesh Police responsible for conducting complex and high-profile criminal investigations. Established in 2012, PBI handles cases that require advanced forensic, technical, and analytical expertise, including homicides, organized crime, cybercrime, and corruption-related offenses. The bureau works closely with other units of the Bangladesh Police and, when necessary, coordinates with national and international law enforcement agencies to ensure thorough and professional investigations.[2][3]
