The FBI has shifted agent resources to its top priorities of counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and cyber crime. Some of these agent resources were shifted away from drug, white-collar, and violent crime enforcement programs. The FBI's drug program has sustained, by far, the largest reduction in FBI agent workforce--about 550 positions, or more than 80 percent of the nonsupervisory field agents who were permanently reprogrammed. In addition, the FBI has had a continuing need to temporarily redirect agents from drug, white-collar, and violent crime enforcement to address counterterrorism-related workload demands. While GAO and other organizations have focused considerable attention on the progress of the FBI's transformation, this report addresses questions about the extent to which the shift in resources has affected federal efforts to combat drug, white-collar, and violent crime and whether other agencies, including the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in the drug enforcement area, are filling gaps created by FBI resource shifts. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-1036/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-1036.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-1036/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-1036.pdf GAO-04-1036 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-1036 Other Written Product GAO-04-1036; FBI Transformation: Data Inconclusive on Effects of Shift to Counterterrorism-Related Priorities on Traditional Crime Enforcement; Agency missions Crime prevention Crimes or offenses Drug trafficking Drugs Federal agency reorganization Interagency relations Labor force Law enforcement Reductions in force White collar crime
