Throughout its more than 100-year history, the #FBI has solicited help from the public to locate wanted criminals—especially those on the Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list. Earlier this month, the FBI raised the minimum reward for each fugitive on the list from $250,000 to up to $1 million. All new and existing fugitives on the list are affected by this reward increase—and in some cases, the potential reward amount may be higher.

FBI personnel are fully engaged on the situation overseas. Last night I instructed our Counterterrorism and intelligence teams to be on high alert and mobilize all assisting security assets needed. Our JTTFs throughout the country are working 24/7, as always, to address and disrupt any potential threats to the homeland. While the military handles force protection overseas, the @FBI remains at the forefront of deterring attacks here at home - and will continue to have our team work around the clock to protect Americans. We ask everyone to please report anything that may seem suspicious to law enforcement - 1-800-CALL-FBI and tips.fbi.gov. Thank you to all military service members, federal partners, and law enforcement who continue to put mission first.

One year ago, I was honored to be confirmed as the 9th Director of the @FBI. Every day since, under President Trump, we’ve worked 24/7 to help deliver the safest America on record - with historic results. Mission first.

See you on the other side. -Dan
