In 1982, the FBI formed an elite unit<ref name="history_rise">{{cite web |url=https://www.fbi.gov/libref/historic/history/rise.htm |title=Rise in International Crime |publisher=Federal Bureau of Investigation |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150106201333/http://www2.fbi.gov/libref/historic/history/rise.htm |archive-date=January 6, 2015}}</ref> to help with problems that might arise at the [[1984 Summer Olympics]] to be held in Los Angeles, particularly [[terrorism]] and major-crime. This was a result of the [[1972 Summer Olympics]] in [[Munich|Munich, Germany]], when [[Munich massacre|terrorists murdered the Israeli athletes]]. Named the [[Hostage Rescue Team]], or HRT, it acts as a dedicated FBI [[SWAT]] team dealing primarily with counter-terrorism scenarios. Unlike the special agents serving on local [[FBI SWAT]] teams, HRT does not conduct investigations. Instead, HRT focuses solely on additional tactical proficiency and capabilities. Also formed in 1984 was the ''Computer Analysis and Response Team'', or CART.<ref name="history_coldwarend">{{cite web |url=https://www.fbi.gov/libref/historic/history/postcold.htm |title=End of the Cold War |publisher=Federal Bureau of Investigation |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150106195651/http://www2.fbi.gov/libref/historic/history/postcold.htm |archive-date=January 6, 2015}}</ref>

From the end of the 1980s to the early 1990s, the FBI reassigned more than 300 agents from foreign counter-intelligence duties to violent crime, and made violent crime the sixth national priority. With cuts to other well-established departments, and because terrorism was no longer considered a threat after the end of the [[Cold War]],<ref name="history_coldwarend" /> the FBI assisted local and state police forces in tracking fugitives who had crossed state lines, which is a federal offense. The FBI Laboratory helped develop [[DNA]] testing, continuing its pioneering role in identification that began with its fingerprinting system in 1924.
