Bond is an intelligence officer in the Secret Intelligence Service, commonly known as MI6. Bond is known by his code number, 007, and was a Royal Naval Reserve Commander.
However MI7 was a branch of the British War Office's Directorate of Military Intelligence and responsible for press liaison and propaganda. The branch was originally established in the Great War and disbanded after the signing of the Armistice.
MI5 gathers information, analyses it, and works closely with the police and other agencies to prevent things like terrorist attacks and espionage. On the other hand, MI6 is more like the “international spy agency” for the UK.
The CIA, though a much younger agency (it has its roots in the WW2 agency the Office of Strategic Services, and was actually founded as the CIA in 1947), and modeled on MI-6 to some degree, is much larger, and generally believed to be better at technical stuff (e.g. satellites, drones, spy planes, etc.).
Operators who are in the Special Operations Group are officially referred to by the CIA as Specialized Skills Officers. The Special Operations Group is often considered the most secretive special operations force the United States has at its disposal.
The National Crime Agency (NCA) is a national law enforcement agency in the United Kingdom. It is the UK's lead agency against organised crime; human, weapon and drug trafficking; cybercrime; and economic crime that goes across regional and international borders, but it can be tasked to investigate any crime.

There are permanent liaison officers of each country in major intelligence agencies of the other, such as the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Secret Intelligence Service ("MI6") (which is the British counterpart of the CIA), FBI and the Security Service (MI5), and National Security Agency (NSA) and Government ...
In order to join MI6, you must be a British citizen and have lived in the UK for the majority of the 10 years prior to your application to join the agency. The easiest way to confirm your nationality is to have a UK passport that describes you as a British citizen.
The FBI gathers intelligence within the United States and works closely with other intelligence agencies, including the CIA, to share information and coordinate efforts. The FBI is comparable to MI5, the British domestic intelligence agency, in terms of its role in counterintelligence and law enforcement.
MI8 was the signals intelligence department of the War Office that ran a worldwide Y-stations network. Additionally, for an 18-month period, from late 1939 to mid 1941, it also ran the Radio Security Service, under the designation of MI8c, but this was quickly handed over to MI6.
They all existed at one time or another - MI1 was responsible for code-breaking, MI2 dealt with Russian and Scandinavian intelligence, MI3 was concerned with the rest of Eastern Europe and MI4 was responsible for aerial reconnaissance. They were all discontinued or changed. Incidentally it originally went up to MI19.
(Note that while MI6 is a real government agency, the 00 section is fictional). Bond served as a Commander in the Royal Naval Reserve prior to joining the Secret Service, where he eventually held the rank of principal officer.
The employer of the world's most famous fictional British spy, James Bond, MI6 is a highly secretive organisation, whose work remains shrouded in mystery – much more so than its domestic security counterpart MI5.
The four main agencies are the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS or MI6), the Security Service (MI5), the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) and Defence Intelligence (DI).
One of the most persistent controversies involving the Security Service during the 1970s and 1980s was the so-called "Wilson Plot", in which officers of the Service were accused of having conspired against the Labour Prime Minister Sir Harold Wilson.
MI5 is a domestic intelligence agency more than LE agency. They typically do not carry firearms. They work with U.K. Law enforcement agencies (such as Special Branch and others) to roll domestic bad guys up. MI6 is much like the American CIA…an intelligence agency focused on foreign intelligence.
Agent 001. In the Raymond Benson novel, Doubleshot, Edward Donne is referred to as agent 001. However, 001 has never been a part of any movie of the James Bond series. Some even say that M, being the head of MI6, is also 001.
No. Ian Fleming copped the “Double 0” designation from The Soviet NKVD, and MI-6 are intelligence operatives, not Asassins. During WW2 that sort of business fell to the Special Operations Executive (SOE).
The Secret Intelligence Service, often known as MI6, collects Britain's foreign intelligence. It provides the government with a global covert capability to promote and defend the national security and economic well-being of the country.
The FBI stands for Federal Bureau of Investigation. “Federal” refers to the national government of the United States. “Bureau” is another word for department or division of government.
Just as the U.S. does not not allow foreign cops to work armed while in the U.S., FBI agents working overseas work unarmed. It depends on the laws of that particular country, the Memorandum of Understanding between the Bureau and host country law enforcement and other factors.
