About IRS Criminal InvestigationIRS Criminal Investigation (CI) is comprised of approximately 4,400 employees worldwide, approximately 2,800 of
which are special agents whose investigative jurisdiction includes tax, money laundering and Bank Secrecy Act laws. While other federal agencies also have Compliance with the tax laws in the United States relies heavily on self-assessments of what tax is owed. This is called voluntary compliance. When individuals and corporations make deliberate decisions to not comply with the law, they face the possibility of a civil audit or criminal investigation which could result in prosecution and possible jail time. CI's top priority is the investigation of violations of the tax law. However, CI special agents lend their financial investigative expertise to money laundering and narcotics investigations conducted in conjunction with other law enforcement agencies at the local, state and federal levels. Fire InvestigationFire Investigations are conducted by a staff of four investigators who are trained in determining the origin and cause of fires. In cooperation with the Tempe Police Department and the County Attorney's Office arson cases are diligently investigated and prosecuted. Combustible Dust Hazard InvestigationIncident Description In 2003, the CSB launched investigations of three major industial explosions involving combustible powders. These explosions - in North Carolina, Kentucky, and Indiana - cost 14 lives and caused numerous injuries and substantial property losses. The Board responded by launching a nationwide study to determine the scope of the problem and recommend new safety measures for facilities that handle combustible powders. Investigation Status The Board convened a day-long public hearing on combustible dust hazards on June 22, 2005, in Washington, DC. A transcript of the meeting is available below. The CSB welcomes written comments on any of the issues raised at the meeting or in the accompanying federal register notice. Continue to learn more about investigation, please visit CSB.

Accident InvestigationINTRODUCTIONThousands of An accident is any unplanned event that results in personal injury or in property damage. When the personal injury requires little or no treatment, it is minor. If it results in a fatality or in a permanent total, permanent partial, or temporary total (lost-time) disability, it is serious. Similarly, property damage may be minor or serious. Investigate all accidents regardless of the extent of injury or damage. Accidents are part of a broad group of events that adversely affect the completion of a task. These events are incidents. For simplicity, the procedures discussed in later sections refer only to accidents. They are, however, also applicable to incidents. This discussion introduces the reader to basic accident investigation procedures and describes accident analysis techniques. Accident PreventionAccidents are usually complex. An accident may have 10 or more events that can be causes. A detailed analysis of an accident will normally reveal three cause levels: basic, indirect, and direct. At the lowest level, an accident results only when a person or object receives an amount of energy or hazardous material that cannot be absorbed safely. This energy or hazardous material is the DIRECT CAUSE of the accident. The direct cause is usually the result of one or more unsafe acts or unsafe conditions, or both. Unsafe acts and conditions are the INDIRECT CAUSES or symptoms. In turn, indirect causes are usually traceable to poor management policies and decisions, or to personal or environmental factors. These are the BASIC CAUSES. In spite of their complexity, most accidents are preventable by eliminating one or more causes. Accident investigations determine not only what happened, but also how and why. The information gained from these investigations can prevent recurrence of similar or perhaps more disastrous accidents. Accident investigators are interested in each event as well as in the sequence of events that led to an accident. The accident type is also important to the investigator. The recurrence of accidents of a particular type or those with common causes shows areas needing special accident prevention emphasis. Continue to learn more about investigation, please visit OSHA. Craft Arts By Mortgage Banking Service Look Faq Antique Way Home Live Child HealthsA Future InvestigationIT'S NOT YET clear whether senators will succeed in their effort to force the Bush administration to give up the use of "cruel, inhuman and degrading" treatment
of foreign detainees, despite a 90-9 vote by the Senate. Resistance by House Republicans and the White Administration officials frequently assert that prisoner treatment has been investigated by a number of military or Pentagon-appointed panels since the photos of abuse at the Abu Ghraib prison surfaced last year. What they don't acknowledge is the lack of independence of those probes or the very wide areas they have overlooked. There has been no investigation of Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, his senior staff, and White House and Justice Department lawyers who drafted or approved policies for detainee interrogations. There has been no investigation of CIA personnel, ranging from former director George J. Tenet to serving personnel in Iraq, who are known to have been involved in the illegal hiding of "ghost detainees" from the International Red Cross and the "rendition" of suspects to countries that practice torture, as well as in cases of torture and homicide. Even a promised investigation by the CIA's own inspector general has never been delivered to Congress. The lack of investigation means that many key questions about the prisoner abuse scandal remain unanswered. We know, for example, that abusive techniques first used on prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba with the approval of Mr. Rumsfeld, such as nudity, sexual humiliation and using dogs to threaten them, later spread to Afghanistan and Iraq. But it is not known how this "migration," as one official report described it, occurred. The contents of two crucial policy memos prepared by the Justice Department in 2002 and 2003 remain undisclosed, despite repeated requests for their release by Mr. Levin. It is likely that they authorized some of the specific torture techniques that were practiced by CIA and military personnel. Little or nothing is known about CIA practices: where prisoners are held, how many there are, what access they have to medical treatment, and how many may have suffered injury or death while in the agency's custody. number of senior Army officers, most notably former Iraq commander Lt. Gen. Ricardo S. Sanchez and former Guantanamo commander Maj. Gen. Geoffrey D. Miller, have been implicated in serious offenses, including ordering or approving prisoner mistreatment. Yet the only direct investigation of these still-active generals, by the Army inspector general, resulted in no sanctions or charges. The head of the U.S. Southern Command, Gen. Bantz J. Craddock, refused to follow a recommendation by the Army's own investigators that Gen. Miller be held account- able for the degrading and abusive treatment of one Guantanamo prisoner. We're willing to make a prediction: Some day there will be an exhaustive investigation of how and why prisoners were abused after 2001, and accountability will be assigned to the senior officers and officials who now hide behind their subordinates and inspector generals. Like the internment of ethnic Japanese during World War II or the CIA's involvement in Cold War-era coup plots and assassinations, government acts so at odds with fundamental American standards will eventually be exposed and disowned by our democracy. Yet it would be much better for the legacy of President Bush, and this Republican Congress, if that honest accounting were to begin now, rather than after they have left office. The opportunity exists: Mr. Levin and his amendment are waiting. Continue to learn more about investigation, please visit The Washington Post Company.

Dod Expands Shad InvestigationThe Department of Defense announced today an expansion of the Shipboard Hazard and Defense investigation. A team of investigators will travel to Dugway Proving
Ground in mid-August to review Deseret Test Center records. "DoD has an obligation to all servicemembers - past and present - to keep them informed of any event during their military career that might threaten their health," said Dr. William Winkenwerder, assistant secretary of Defense for Health Affairs. "We are committed to providing the Veterans Administration with the medically relevant information as quickly and efficiently as possible." The Shipboard Hazard and Defense program was a subset of Project 112, a chemical and biological weapons vulnerability-testing program conducted by the Deseret Test Center from 1963 to 1969. The tests consisted of joint exercises involving the Army's Deseret Test Center, several Army and Navy vessels and Marine Corps and Air Force aircraft. Some veterans have expressed concern that they may have been exposed to harmful substances during these classified tests. To date, DoD has published 12 fact sheets that chronicle ships and units involved in the tests, when the tests took place, and the substances to which the crews may have been exposed. So far, investigators have identified approximately 2,700 to 2,800 servicemembers involved in these 12 tests, many in more than one test. Winkenwerder says the declassification of ship and personnel information for an additional 17 SHAD tests is under way; completion and publication of additional fact sheets is expected in early fall. The work to be done at Dugway in August will complete the investigation of all Project 112 tests conducted by the Deseret Test Center. "We plan to augment staff as needed to finish this task efficiently and quickly," he said. "We owe our SHAD veterans resolution to events that took place four decades ago."

property rights (IPR) enforcement practices, a move aimed at pressuring The U.S. Trade Representative’s office stopped short of filing a formal complaint against China. Instead, the office is seeking information on China’s enforcement efforts. The action signals the U.S. government’s concern and could generate evidence for use in a later complaint. “We would like to see a significant drop in the piracy and counterfeit rates. Because we have not, we have taken this step,” a U.S. trade official said in a press briefing. “We would hope that China would view this initiative as an opportunity to demonstrate why they believe their system is effective, and as a constructive tool for identifying any problems that need to be corrected.” An official with the Chinese embassy in Washington, D.C., could not be immediately reached for comment. The U.S. has asked China to respond to its inquiry within three months. The trade office is seeking an assortment of information on China’s legal actions in IPR cases, including data on the number of claims brought in recent years, the legal grounds for the claims, the nationalities of the plaintiff rights’ holders and on penalties meted out to those convicted. An April 2005 report on worldwide IPR issues published by the U.S. Trade Representative’s office called addressing weak IP protection in China one of the administration’s top trade priorities. Internet piracy and counterfeit manufacture of goods ranging from designer handbags to batteries are occurring at unacceptably high levels, the report said. The office has placed China on its “Priority Watch” list of countries not considered to provide adequate IPR protections. Other countries on the list include Brazil, India, Israel, Pakistan, Russia and Turkey. Egypt starts investigation into Alexandria incidentA team of Egypt's Public Prosecution office on Saturday examined Mar Girgis Church to start a probe into an incident in which at least one was killed and 45 others wounded, the official MENA news agency reported. Meanwhile, the public prosecutor is interrogating an extremist who fomented disturbances. Some 5,000 Muslims, who were instigated by rumors that an anti- Islam play was screened in Mar Girgis Church, on Friday set off after Friday noon prayers from mosques in the Alexandria district and headed to the church in the same area to show their protest. Police forces were obliged to use tear gas to disperse the demonstrators when some radical elements in the crowd began hurling stones at the church, police and passers-by and setting fire at commercial establishments in the area. Fifty-nine protesters were detained in the wake of the riot and were transferred to office of the district attorney for questioning. On Wednesday, Mohamed el-Sayyed Hassouna was arrested for injuring a nun and a lawyer while leaving the same church. He was also triggered by the alleged anti-Islam play. However, a senior Coptic Church official denied claims that the play includes insults to Islam. Continue to learn more about investigation, please visit People's Daily Online.

Bureau of InvestigationStaffed by over 260 investigators with full peace officer status, the Bureau of Investigation is the fourth largest law enforcement agency in Los Angeles County.
Investigators in the Bureau conduct some of the most unique, sensitive, and The primary function of D.A. investigators is to provide prosecution support to the District Attorney’s legal staff. By locating and processing prosecution witnesses and conducting supplemental pretrial investigations, investigators strengthen cases for prosecution. Investigators are assigned to each District Attorney branch location in the County and to a variety of special units. Special units personnel work directly with deputy district attorneys in the office’s specialized programs to combat gangs, public corruption, organized crime, family violence, stalking, hate crimes, consumer fraud, and other high impact crimes. Assisting other law enforcement agencies, when requested, is also an important function of the Bureau of Investigation. Assistance with vehicular and electronic surveillance, photographic services, and document analysis are available to other agencies.

Internal InvestigationsCorporate officers and employees often victimize their own company for personal gain. Undetected, these activities threaten Corporate victimization takes many forms, including theft of trade secrets and proprietary information, employee infringement of patents and copyrights, theft and embezzlement of property, and collusion between vendors and marketing personnel. These situations require effective, credible and confidential internal investigations. We are regularly asked to conduct investigations for multinational companies, professional organizations and even governmental entities. The Business Crimes Defense Team of Hunton & Williams, led by several former federal prosecutors and a retired United States District Judge, is well-suited to conduct internal investigations. These professionals can quickly and discreetly detect practices that undermine a corporation’s productivity. Hunton & Williams frequently uses its wholly-owned subsidiary, Turnstone Investigative Group, staffed by former federal agents, to assist in these investigations. Federal Bureau of InvestigationFederal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), division of the U.S. Dept. of Justice charged with investigating all violations of federal laws except those assigned to some other federal agency. The FBI has jurisdiction over some 185 investigative matters, among them espionage, sabotage, and other subversive activities; kidnapping; extortion; bank robbery; interstate transportation of stolen property; civil-rights matters; interstate gambling violations; and fraud against the government. Created (1908) as the Bureau of Investigation, it originally conducted investigations only for the Justice Dept. After J. Edgar Hoover became (1924) director of the Bureau of Investigation, Congress gradually added one duty after another to the jurisdiction of the bureau and reorganized (1933) it with wider powers as the Division of Investigation in the Dept. of Justice. Under Hoover's direction, it battled against such roving outlaws as John Dillinger and “Pretty Boy” Floyd as well as against the organized crime of the prohibition era. In 1935 it was designated the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The FBI played an important role in raising the standards of local police units through its FBI Academy. Fraud InvestigationThe IMU comprises a group of investigators who are responsible for managing the investigation of allegations/suspicions of fraud, waste and abuse of Comcare’s programs. Other responsibilities of the Unit include the preparation of Briefs of Evidence, assisting the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to prosecute allegations of criminal fraud, and assisting legal representatives in civil recovery cases arising from fraud investigations. Members of the Unit are also involved in the development of policy and procedures for the conduct of fraud investigations within Comcare and to assist in the training of other staff in investigative procedures. Comcare conducts both factual and optical surveillance investigations, in an attempt to either confirm or deny an allegation or suspicion of fraud against the programs that Comcare administers.
