How do Special Agents prioritize cases?

Special Agents prioritize cases primarily based on severity, evidence, and available resources. This approach ensures that the most significant cases, which may have a greater impact on public safety or national security, are addressed promptly. By evaluating the severity of the situation, agents can focus their efforts on the most pressing matters. Additionally, considering the evidence available helps to determine which cases are likely to lead to successful prosecutions or resolutions. The allocation of resources is also crucial; agents must ensure that they can effectively manage their caseload based on the manpower and tools at their disposal. This systematic and analytical method of prioritization is vital for maintaining an efficient and effective investigative process.
