Yes because the FBI have never done anything controversial.

I think this is less to do with emulating the US and more to do with dealing with crime that crosses county lines without having to involve London.

Ideally that's what it will be, but I'm wary of how often they themselves refer to it as "the British FBI".

I'm not sure who is referring to them as the British FBI - it seems to be an unattributed quote.

“The current policing model was built for a different century. We will create a new National Police Service – dubbed 'the British FBI' - deploying world class talent and state of the art technology to track down and catch dangerous criminals,” said UK Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood.

The government themselves are referring to it that way.
