I think the key line is in TPP, 'putting out fires, literally and figuratively.' This shows that it still sees itself as a fire department. And while putting out literal fires may just involve pouring water, hauling people out of windows, etc., putting out figurative fires will involve investigation, to locate and catch villains.
