The American Interstate Federal Police (AIFP) is the national and principal federal law enforcement agency of the US Government with the unique role of investigating crime and protecting the national security of the United States of Elisia. The AIFP is special in being the broadest law enforcement agency in US history, while also being the most restricted. The conception of the agency occurred in the early 1900's to help combat major crimes such as terrorism and arson, which peaked in 1898 with over 1,600 reported cases. During this time, the FPS would see temporarily expanded "powers" that were unenumerated after states requested federal security details for state buildings and buildings that were deemed "high-risk" for attack. These major crimes, however, did not see any assistance from the federal government in its investigations, which led to them being slow, uncooperative and in some cases corrupt.
There were some major prosecutions that would later be overturned by the Supreme Court due to violations of due process, with one such notable prosecution during this era being the Red Five. After the spectacular failure that was the Red Five, the north decided to propose a new broad law enforcement powers to be granted to the FPS but the original drafter of the Federal Protection of Officials Act vehemently refused such extensions and that, by extension, led everybody else to also decline the proposal.
The next proposal would come a year later, and having been approved by all of the southern states, led to the creation of the AIFP and the subsequent ratification of the Origination of Federal Investigations Act.
