The State Bureau of Investigation (Ukrainian: Державне Бюро Розслідувань, romanized: Derzhavne Biuro Rozsliduvan') is a law enforcement agency of Ukraine that investigates criminal proceedings involving law enforcement officers, judges, and high-ranking officials. It is commonly known in Ukraine as DBR (ДБР) or anglicized as SBI. Gradually, the DBR took over the function of preparatory proceedings from the prosecutor's office.
