Comey vows fight as FBI minority agent numbers slip
The numbers of minority FBI agents are continuing to drop at a slow clip, according to newly released statistics, but FBI Director James Comey says the bureau is working aggressively to reverse the decline.
As of March, there were 581 African-American agents in the FBI, down from 606 at the end of 2014. In percentage terms, black agents went from 4.5% of the ranks in 2014 to 4.37% in the most recent report.
The same data showed 882 Latino agents, down from 916 in 2014 — a decline from 6.81% to 6.63% over about 14 months.
