Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was already a prestigious organization with a focus on detective work before Robert F. Kennedy's time as Attorney General. J. Edgar Hoover, who led the FBI from 1924 to 1972, was instrumental in elevating the status of the FBI and its detective work long before the 1960s.
