Office for Extraordinary Investigations
The Office for Extraordinary Investigations was the predecessor to DHS-PIG . When agencies were being combined in 2002/2003 to form the DHS, the OEI was one of them, although strictly off book.
Prior to becoming DHS-PIG, the OEI was a little more free-flowing, with fewer regulations, and many fewer resources. Some of the old-timers still reminisce about those days, but others are quick to point out the benefits of the resources and organization of the DHS-PIG today and its benefits.
Structure
The OEI was mostly a group of very independently-minded agents who traveled from place to place investigating and capturing or eradicating supernatural threats. They crossed paths infrequently, and never for long. The OEI had a central location in the Denver area, which agents returned to when needed.
Culture
Mostly fierce loners, the agents of the OEI didn't really have a shared culture, other than periodically getting together to tell stories of their missions that others could learn from. Some of these stories had nearly as much exaggeration as truth in them.
Public Agenda
The OEI was hidden from the public, and as such, had no public agenda.
Assets
Individual agents often had caches in safe houses in various cities. The OEI itself ran a combination headquarters/research facility/zoo in Denver before it was folded into the DHS. Due to several escapes from the facility there, the creatures being held were destroyed when the OEI became DHS-PIG.
Disbandment
When the Department of Homeland Security was formed, the OEI was one of the many existing agencies that were rolled up into it. This came with an increase in oversight and greater structure, which many OEI agents rankled under. Only a handful of OEI agents are still with the agency nearly 2 decades after it became DHS-PIG. Many of the others are now independent hunters, or have died in the time since, very few of peaceful causes.
