The practice of the FBI circulating WANTED POSTERS began in December 1919. The FBI's first ever WANTED POSTER was issued in the form of a letter on December 2, 1919, for a 23-year-old soldier named William N. Bishop, who escaped from from the stockade at Camp A.A. Humphreys (today's Fort Belvoir) in northern Virginia. The letter was documented as, "Identification Order No. 1". The method of disseminating the suspect's information across the country was so successful, a standardized format was developed into what is now the familiar WANTED POSTER. WANTED POSTERS are still used to this day.
