~100 actionable tips per day, and 13,500 special agents, I think they can handle the workload. At that rate the average agent is only going to catch a "tip line" case every 4.5 months. They usually work in pairs...so call it two cases every 4.5 months.

It isn't a resource issue if you are actually doing your job.

You need to construct a poll which gives options for people to disagree with your basic premise, or the poll is meaningless.

You do realize that the agents do more than just answer tip lines, right? Or are you proposing the entire resources of the FBI be dedicated to tips only?

How many tips do they get a day?

It is still a resource issue, they already work 10 hours a day standard, doubt the FBI will retain and attract too many people if they said they will be working 12 hours a day, every day, their entire careers.

I guess the FBI Director doesn't know he doesn't have enough resources, because he said it was a failure to follow protocol.

You must be a FBI agent. I’m not, but I doubt they work 10 hrs per day. Any way, its just a matter of setting priorities . If they know anything about school shootings, it should have been at the top of the list.

1000's a day.

Is that 2000 or 25,000? 50,000? What percentage are crack pot calls?

As it relates to the January tip, the Operator referred it to a Supervisor who did not refer it to the Miami Field Office for follow-up.

This is a colossal fail and should be independently investigated.

My gut says it's a combo of process and resource issue.

Would like to know the backstory as to how the FBI realized the ball was dropped.
