No fooling around awaiting bureaucratic administration and/or being hamstrung by politicians and their fears and concerns for self-preservation; this agency is interested only in being “hot on the trail” of the criminals. There has been no verified information on the actual size and composition of the DEA team here, but it would be a good assumption that it includes a variety of crime-investigating capacities.
In case you missed it.
