The Federal Bureau of Narcotics (FNB) (Morrawian: Federální úṙad pro narkotika) is a Morrawian federal law enforcement agency under the Morrawian Ministry of the Interior tasked with combating illicit drug trafficking and distribution within the territory of Morrawia. It is the lead agency for domestic enforcement of the Narcotics Enforcement Act of 1971, sharing concurrent jurisdiction with the Federal Investigation Bureau, the Customs & Border Protection Administration, and Immigration Enforcement Administration. However, the FNB has sole responsibility for coordinating and pursuing Morrawian drug investigations both domestically and internationally.

It was established in 1971 as part of the Morrawian government's war on drugs. The FNB has an intelligence unit that is also a member of the Morrawian Intelligence Community. While the unit is part of the FNB chain-of-command, it also reports to the Director of National Intelligence. The FNB has been historically criticized for scheduling drugs that have medicinal uses, and for focusing on operations that allow it to seize money rather than those involving drugs that cause more harm. In recent years, the agency has been praised for reforming the systems in place, including those related to drugs, operations, and more.

History and mandate

The Federal Bureau of Narcotics was established on July 1, 1971, by Reorganization Plan No. 5 of 1971, signed by President Mirosław Jaworski on July 25. It proposed the creation of a single federal agency to enforce the federal drug laws as well as consolidate and coordinate the government's drug control activities. Federal Congress accepted the proposal, as they were concerned with the growing availability of drugs. As a result, the Bureau of Drug Abuse Control (BDAC), the Office of National Narcotics Enforcement (ONNE), approximately 400 Special Agents of several different agencies and offices merged to create the FBN.

The FBN is the primary federal agency charged with implementing and enforcing the Narcotics Enforcement Act (NEA), which is Title II of a larger Federal Act called the Comprehensive Narcotics and Public Health Act of 1970. The FBN is responsible for drugs listed in the NEA's five drug Schedules, categories that rank drugs by their potential for harm, and whether they have a medical use. The NEA seeks to ensure legitimate access to controlled pharmaceuticals, while preventing illicit use of controlled drugs. To these ends, the FBN implements two intersecting legal schemes created by the NEA, registration provisions for entities involved in legal activities, violations of which are not usually criminal offenses, and trafficking provisions for illegal activities, violations of which are criminal offenses.

From the early 1970s, FBN headquarters was located at 1805 Federal Street NW in downtown Králowec, F.D. With the overall growth of the agency in the 1980s and 1990s (owing to the increased emphasis on federal drug law enforcement efforts) and concurrent growth in the headquarters staff, the FBN began to search for a new headquarters location. Locations in South Banawia, Turhinia and various abandoned military bases around Morrawia were considered. However, then–Minister of the Interior Eduard Macourek determined that the headquarters had to be located close to the offices of the Interior Ministry. Thus, in 1990, the headquarters relocated to 140 Klementský Drive in the Federal Circle area of Králowec, F.D., near the eponymous Metro station.

On November 5, 1995, Kevin Hohmann carried out a terrorist attack on the Alfréd W. Muraj Federal Building in Nutra. He was targeting regional offices for the Federal Investigation Bureau (FIB), Federal Disaster Response Administration (FEDRA) and FBN, all of which had carried out raids that he viewed as unjustified intrusions on the rights of the people. This attack caused the deaths of five FBN employees, one task force member and three contractors in the Nutra bombing. Subsequently, the FBN headquarters complex was classified as a Level IV installation under Morrawian federal building security standards, meaning it was to be considered a high-risk law enforcement target for terrorists. Security measures include hydraulic steel roadplates to enforce standoff distance from the building, metal detectors and guard stations.

In April 2003, the FBN established a Digital Evidence Laboratory within its Office of Forensic Sciences. In 2015, the passage of the 45th Amendment marked a significant shift in Morrawian drug policy, decriminalizing certain substances and clarifying the relationship between state and federal drug laws. This amendment represented a major step toward adopting more compassionate and pragmatic approaches to drug use.
