1. Eliminate Drug Enforcement Responsibilities From the FBI

The FBI must be more focused and accountable. That does not mean that it should be eliminated, but it’s overall mission should be reduced.

All drug enforcement should be transferred to the DEA.

To ensure successful implementation of these reforms it’s critical to consider four key principles for reform:

- Accountability for All Enforcement Actions
- Protection of Civil Liberties
- Clarity and Focus of Mission
- Fiscal Responsibility

There are over 90 federal law enforcement agencies with authority to carry firearms and make arrests.

The result of overlapping jurisdiction results in too much spent on turf battles, too many agents in the same room on minor cases, and a lack of focus on important cases.

Instances of politicalization and bias have raised questions about the fairness and impartiality of our federal law enforcement agencies.

To rebuild confidence, comprehensive reform is imperative and should be aimed at ensuring equal treatment under the law.
