FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino highlighted the progress his agency has made following a massive shakeup that changed how the investigative group operates.

The deputy director discussed the changes and reforms in a post on X, stating that the decision that he and Director Kash Patel made to reorganize the FBI was expected to “improve efficiency and accountability.”

The agency overhaul included personnel changes.

“The new leadership team has produced dramatic results, which we will produce for you, in detail, as the year wraps up,” Bongino said. “They will include a historic drop in the homicide rate, along with record disruptions, arrests, and drug interdictions. Many of these personnel changes have upset a group of Comey-Wray era disgruntled former agents who prefer the old ways of operating. We are not going back.”

Additionally, the agency has been working on an artificial intelligence project to assist investigators and analysts on national security matters.

The FBI’s crisis management process was also redesigned to make information “more accessible and transparent in a crisis.”

The FBI also designed and launched the agency’s first counter-drone school last month.

Over the course of the FBI’s work since the current administration entered office, four of the FBI’s 10 most wanted fugitives were captured, and a series of Antifa-related arrests were made in multiple states, Bongino said.

Among other changes, the deputy director said that culture changes were implemented, including the elimination of diversity, equity, and inclusion projects; reforming the physical fitness test; making promotions contingent on real-world results; and cutting ties with the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League.

The FBI also expanded an overseas biometric program that is intended to stop bad actors before they board planes or vessels to the United States.

“This gives us the ability to expand the border outwards and prevent the problems from coming here,” Bongino said.

He also said that the FBI has saved Americans potentially billions of dollars by dropping a plan for a new headquarters building.

“We will be moving to the existing Reagan building after decades of fruitless haggling as the current FBI headquarters building crumbles,” the deputy director said, confirming earlier statements by the agency.

The agency also relocated personnel out of the Washington area and put them into field offices in order to focus on violent crime, crimes against children, and terrorism.

“Those agents are now working on the mission in those regional offices,” he said.

One of the changes has hit a legal hiccup, however, as the state of Maryland sued President Donald Trump’s administration in early November for scrapping the new FBI headquarters project.

Gov. Wes Moore joined fellow Maryland officials to criticize the plan to move the FBI headquarters to the Ronald Reagan Building complex instead of the previously planned Greenbelt location, which was chosen under the Biden administration. Moore said the Reagan building was “too old, too small, and too exposed.”
