They are a police department - but on a larger scale.
The primary function of the FBI is to investigate violations of certain federal statutes and to collect evidence in cases in which the US may be an interested party. They also perform other duties specifically imposed by law or presidential directive and conduct a number of service activities for other law enforcement agencies. In the field of organized crime, the FBI seeks to eradicate large-scale intrastate gambling, loansharking, gangland infiltration of legitimate business and interstate travel in aid of racketeering. Other statutes often applied are those dealing with pornography, arson-for-hire, extortion, thefts from interstate shipments and labor racketeering.
Their case classifications are:
Admiralty Matters
Alien Property Custodian Matters
Antiracketeering
Antitrust
Applicationsfor Executive Clemency and Pardon
Assaulting a Federal Officer

These are not all-inclusive, and the responsibilities might have shifted since this list was printed, due to the events of 9/11 and the creation of the Department of Homeland Security.
Hope this helps answer your questions. . .

The FBI's mandate, the broadest of all federal investigative agencies, authorizes it to investigate all federal criminal violations that have not been specifically assigned by Congress to another federal agency. The FBI's investigative functions fall into the categories of applicant matters; civil rights; counterterrorism; foreign counterintelligence; organized crime/drugs; violent crimes and major offenders; and financial crime.
The FBI investigates the malicious damaging or destruction, by means of an explosive, of property used in interstate or foreign commerce. The FBI also investigates bombings in the U.S. and overseas when the incident was an act of terrorism against U.S. persons or interests. It collects evidence, interviews witnesses, develops leads, and identifies and apprehends the person or persons responsible.
