The top FBI official in Puerto Rico has declared the island is facing a ‘crisis of violence’ and is requesting more agents and resources from the mainland United States. Special Agent in Charge Douglas Leff made the statement during an interview with local radio station NotiUno630 on Wednesday. Leff emphasized that no other FBI field office in the country confronts the level of crime his San Juan office deals with daily. He said the situation requires immediate reinforcement to combat the surge in violent crime. The request underscores the severity of public safety challenges in Puerto Rico, which has seen rising homicide rates and other serious offenses. Leff’s comments signal a potential escalation in federal law enforcement presence on the island.
