| 1. Southwest Border and Methamphetamine Enforcement | 8 | 4 | $ 29,172 |
| DEA requests 8 positions, 4 FTE, and $29,172,000 (including $28,437,000 non-personnel funding) to attack poly-drug trafficking organizations located along the Southwest Border by increasing DEA's intelligence gathering, detection, monitoring, and surveillance capabilities. According to the El Paso Intelligence Center’s (EPIC) drug seizure data, most of the cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamine and Mexican-produced heroin available in the United States are smuggled into the country across the Southwest Border. Additionally, DEA will target Gatekeepers who facilitate the movement of drugs, illegal aliens, or other smuggled goods across geographically specific entry corridors along the Southwest Border. The requested resources will enable DEA to combat this threat. FY 2008 current services resources for this initiative are $65,300,000; total FY 2008 resources are 8 positions, 4 FTE, and $94,472,000. | |||
| 2. Counterterrorism and Intelligence Sharing | 7 | 4 | $ 7,124 |
| DEA requests 7 positions (including 1 Special Agent), 4 FTE, and $7,124,000 (including $6,123,000 non-personnel funding) to improve information sharing with the Intelligence Community (IC) and other law enforcement agencies to enhance our Nation’s efforts in reducing the supply of drugs, protecting our national security, and combating global terrorism; establish base-funding for DEA’s Operation Breakthrough; and support the Department of Justice’s new National Gang Targeting, Enforcement, and Coordination Center (GangTECC). DEA's classified infrastructure, Merlin, enables Intelligence Analysts and Special Agents to perform their duties in a secure environment and will allow DEA's National Security Section to communicate IC requests to both domestic and foreign DEA field offices. Merlin also provides DEA users with their only access to a variety of systems and tools that are widely used to support DEA investigations and intelligence program. Operation Breakthrough provides the U.S. government with a science-based methodology for estimating potential drug crop yields. FY 2008 current services resources for this initiative are 7 positions, 7 FTE, and $11,374,000; total FY 2008 resources are 14 positions (1 Special Agent), 7 FTE, and $18,498,000. | |||
| 3. Online Investigations | 0 | 0 | $ 3,020 |
| DEA requests $3,020,000 in non-personnel funding to provide operational funding for the support of Internet investigations, Internet intercept capabilities, undercover Internet workstations, and computer forensics support. Traditional drug trafficking organizations increasingly rely on the use of the Internet to facilitate their drug trafficking and money laundering activities. To remain on the forefront of communication exploitation capabilities, DEA needs to improve and expand its Internet investigative technologies to combat the evolving methods used by drug trafficking organizations. FY 2008 current services resources for this initiative are 21 positions (including 1 Special Agent), 21 FTE, and $5,161,000; total FY 2008 resources are 21 positions (including 1 Special Agent), 21 FTE, and $8,181,000. | |||

| 1. Mobile Enforcement Teams (MET) | -83 | -80 | -$ 20,578 |
| To support DEA's mission by funding higher priority initiatives, DEA proposes to reduce the MET program by 83 positions (including 80 Agents), 80 FTE, and $20,578,000 in FY 2008, thus eliminating the program. MET teams are currently deployed on a temporary basis to assist State and local law enforcement in high drug areas. This reduction, in addition to the decrease of 151 positions (including 132 Special Agents), 149 FTE, and $30,169,000 requested for MET in the FY 2007 President's Budget, will eliminate the program in FY 2008. Current MET positions will be realigned within DEA, and the staffing reduction required by this offset will be realized through attrition. FY 2008 current services resources for MET are 83 positions (including 80 Special Agents), 80 FTE, and $20,578,000. | |||

| DEA requests 3 positions (including 1 Special Agent), 2 FTE, and $811,000 to attack poly-drug trafficking organizations located along the Southwest Border. Specifically, these resources will enable DEA to further combat the diversion of precursor chemicals by placing personnel at the Long Beach, California Port to identify shipments of precursor chemicals from source countries destined for Mexico, and one Diversion Investigator position in Panama City, Panama, to target the smuggling of precursors. There are no FY 2008 current services resources for this initiative. | |||
| 2. Online Diversion Investigations | 12 | 6 | $ 4,011 |
| DEA requests 12 positions, 6 FTE, and $4,011,000 (including $3,005,000 non-personnel funding) to provide operational funding, improved Internet intercept capabilities, computer forensics support, and specialized legal support for online diversion investigations. FY 2008 current services resources for this initiative are 5 positions, 5 FTE, and $4,952,000; total FY 2008 resources are 17 positions, 11 FTE, and $8,963,000. | |||
| 3. Conversion of Diversion Investigators | 0 | 0 | $ 11,588 |
| DEA requests $11,588,000 to fund the FY 2008 costs of converting Diversion Investigators to criminal investigator series positions. Pending approval from the Department of Justice and the Office of Personnel Management, DEA will begin converting on-board diversion investigator positions to the new criminal investigator series in FY 2007. | |||
