The mission of the Behavioral Analysis Units (BAU) is to provide much needed support for complex cases with little time to be solved and other matters through the study of criminal profiling, investigative case experience, education, specialized training, and research. Each unit in the BAU has a special role they play.
The first unit is counterterrorism and threat assessment. This unit focuses on crimes involving terrorism, threats, arson, bombings, stalking, cyber-related violations, and anticipated or active crisis situations.
the second unit is crimes against adults. This unit focuses on serial, mass, spree and other murders. The unit also resources sexual assaults; kidnappings; missing person cases; and other violent crimes targeting adult victims. The BAU 2 also provides assistance in potentially non-violent investigations, such as white-collar crime, public corruption, organized crime, and civil rights matters.
The third unit is crimes against children. This unit helps with cases of abductions, mysterious disappearances of children, homicides, and sexual victimization.
If I were to join one of the units I would least likely join the first. I would most likely join the second, but its undecided. Each unit requires most of the same training so I will have plenty of time to change my mind.
