You are thinking of "The FBI" (1965-1974), a Quinn Martin production with Efrem Zimbalist Jr. as the lead. Just a police procedural. QM produced 12 crime drama series between 1961 and 1977. Unlikely that he bothered to trim his jib to accommodate propaganda.
A more likely influence would be "The FBI Story" (1959) with Jimmy Stewart, depicting a highlighted history of the FBI in the life of one agent.
Gosh, I haven't seen either of them. I think the last police program i watched on a regular basis was Miami Vice, still a favorite. I have no idea what these series are like.

How do you feel about today’s two FBI series on one of the networks that have been on at least the last 5 years? I haven’t watched a single episode.
