We are ATF.
A unique law enforcement agency in the United States Department of Justice that protects our communities from violent criminals, criminal organizations, the illegal use and trafficking of firearms, the illegal use and storage of explosives, acts of arson and bombings, acts of terrorism, and the illegal diversion of alcohol and tobacco products. We partner with communities, industries, law enforcement, and public safety agencies to safeguard the public we serve through information sharing, training, research, and use of technology.
Why do we need this agency? Why not merge the criminal investigations with the FBI? Alcohol and tobacco violations can be handled by the ATF?
Does not having extra agencies merely create a more convoluted system and hinder investigations by creating barriers to the flow of information?
