Congressman Jim Jordan of Ohio has proposed an intriguing suggestion that could potentially revitalize the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). He believes that relocating the FBI out of Washington, DC and into another part of the country would be beneficial. He even suggested Alabama as a possible destination.
This idea is quite compelling for several reasons. Primarily, it would signify a change in leadership roles within the organization. This shift would be especially helpful with regard to removing politics from their operations. The FBI has been overly involved in domestic affairs which should not necessarily fall under its jurisdiction unless they relate to federal crimes.
The relocation of the FBI out of DC and into another region will also have numerous positive implications on its budgeting process due to cost savings associated with such a move. A less expensive area may mean fewer costs in terms of office space, staff salaries, and equipment which can all add up significantly over time if left unchecked or unmanaged well enough.
It could also help reduce government spending overall by eliminating unnecessary expenses related to running an agency located far from its main operating base within our nation’s capital city.
Moreover, this relocation could be beneficial for morale among employees due to increased opportunities for advancement within their field or specialty areas without having to leave their current job positions behind them just so they can climb up the ladder at work faster than usual.
It might provide new challenges and experiences which are often difficult to come by when one works solely within an isolated environment such as what exists in Washington, DC today where many bureaucrats have become stagnant due to lack of movement outside their comfort zones or long-term career paths staying stuck in one place without much room for growth or improvement professionally speaking.
Overall Congressman Jim Jordan’s proposal seems like a viable solution that could reinvigorate the FBI while saving it from itself at the same time – something we should all strive towards achieving as citizens who want our government agencies accountable and efficient regardless of where they are located.

Jim Jordan looks to boot FBI from DC, suggests new HQ in Alabama
As House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, continues to blast the FBI and Department of Justice over alleged politicization of the justice system and law enforcement, he is eyeing a major move to separate the bureau from the intrigue of the nation’s capital.
To that end, he has thrown his support behind an effort to relocate the FBI headquarters, pointing to existing facilities in Huntsville, Ala., in a bid to depoliticize the bureau, he wrote in a Tuesday letter to the House Appropriations Committee recommending that the House use the “power of the purse” to advance key reforms. The bureau currently seeks to move out of the capital and into the suburbs.
“The Committee remains concerned about the politicization of federal law enforcement power emanating from FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C.,” he wrote. “The centralization of FBI operations in the National Capitol Region has led to duplication of activity best left to the respective field offices, contributed to reduced autonomy in local field offices, and allowed improper political influence to taint law enforcement investigations and activity.”
Jim Jordan wants to move FBI Headquarters from DC to Alabama
This is exactly what we need for *all* federal agencies
Spread them out across the country & let other regions reap the economic benefits
But most importantly, it reduces corruption
