# The Trump administration has cut more than four-thousand employees from some of the nation’s top law-enforcement agencies, even as it vowed to crack down on crime. Records obtained by Reuters from the US Justice Department’s management unit, show that the total number of employees at the FBI has dropped more than seven-percent since the government’s 2024 fiscal year, a loss of about two-thousand-600 people. The Drug Enforcement Administration’s staff has dropped by about six-percent, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives lost about 14-percent of its workers.
