Answer to Question 1

A firm believer in the need for professional law enforcement agencies, Hoover was largely responsible for developing the FBI National Academy in 1935, which is responsible for training police officers from around the country in specialized policing and investigation techniques. Hoover also was responsible for establishing the FBI Crime Laboratory, which, despite controversy surrounding the lab in the 1990s, is generally regarded as one of the best such laboratories in the world. Hoover's other key achievements include the introduction of the FBI Uniform Crime Reports; the hiring of accountants and lawyers to serve as special agents; and the development of the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Criminals program.
Although Hoover is well regarded as a reformer and advocate of police professionalism, his reputation since his death has suffered considerably. There are many reasons for this, both professional and personal. On a professional note, Hoover has been accused of harassing alleged Communists, using domestic surveillance by the FBI during his time as head of the Bureau, suppressing information from the Warren Commission
