Founded in 1908, The FBI made it easier to get crime solved. The invention of Ident made it possible to use and capture finger prints which was a vital tool for these times. It made it possible to not switch up a person if they had the same name for example the William west and will west issue. Since they had the fingerprints it was easier to figure out who did what. The bureau is what helped capture and arrest Capone once and for all.
