The Economic Crime Enforcement Specialists will engage in a series of on-sight visits to assist in recommending the priorities of the Department and the designated districts. The initial visits will be in the nature of intelligence sweeps to determine the nature of activity and the scope of the economic crime problems by meeting on the Federal, state and local level with program agencies, enforcement offices, prosecutors offices, and with representatives from business and industry. The Specialists shall also gather factual and demographic data about the districts as required. The national priorities shall be set for the United States Attorneys and the Criminal Division by the Deputy Attorney General. Supplemental priority matters may be set for a district by the appropriate United States Attorney with the concurrence of the Assistant Attorney General, Criminal Division.

Once the priorities are adopted, the Specialists will work with the Federal, state and local prosecutors, enforcement personnel, and program representatives to improve their capabilities to identify potential criminal activities, investigate and, where necessary, prosecute or take some other form of meaningful corrective action. The Specialists shall also work with agencies and others to develop methods and techniques for preventing these crimes. The Specialists will act as catalysts to stimulate the agencies, investigators, and prosecutors on all levels to perform in a more efficient manner. The Specialists will be located in the United States Attorney's office within the areas served to insure input and participation by the United States Attorneys.

The Criminal Division, through its office of Economic Crime Enforcement, will be responsible for:

a.

b.

c.

d.

Coordinating the Economic Crime Enforcement
activities of all Federal judicial districts and
the Criminal Division;

Collecting and maintaining relevant statistical
data on the performance of this program and
related fraud and corruption matters;

Maintaining effective liaison with the appropriate
prosecutive, enforcement, program and other agencies;

Arranging for training for enforcement, program
and prosecution personnel;

Making recommendations to the Assistant Attorney
General, Criminal Division, concerning the allocation
of Division personnel to the Economic Crime

Enforcement Units;

f. Preparing for submission to the Attorney General periodic reports on the program;

g. Publishing on a restricted circulation basis an Economic Crime Enforcement Bulletin describing all newly developed techniques in the areas of prevention, detection, investigation, prosecution and sentencing, all emerging economic crime schemes, all significant cases, and all relevant changes within the investigative and regulatory agencies;

h. Arranging supplemental staffing in appropriate priority matters handled by the units or by other United States Attorney offices.

The Economic Crime Enforcement Units shall:

a. Submit for approval of the appropriate United States Attorney and the Assistant Attorney General, Criminal Division, the proposed priorities for their districts, said report to reflect the problems being encountered in the district, the specific nature of the suspected criminal activity, the general sources of information, and, where known, the likely targets. District priorities shall be reviewed not less than

once a year;

b. Handle only national or local priority economic
crime investigations and cases within the
jurisdiction of the Federal districts served
(unless otherwise approved by the Assistant
Attorney General, Criminal Division), and are
not intended to handle all fraud and corruption
cases within an office;

C.

Provide for national coordination and ensure
appropriate focus on significant cases by each
unit chief preparing and submitting to the
Director of the Economic Crime Enforcement
Office of the Criminal Division a case initiation
report providing a brief summary of the facts, a
description of possible subjects and victims of
the offense, and a projected time for completion
of the inquiry.

Each relevant investigative agency will be asked to designate an experienced and senior official to serve as liaison officer with each unit and to coordinate the utilization of the agency's investigative resources with the Economic Crime Enforcement Specialists and the United States Attorneys. In addition, selective investigative agencies will be requested to assign personnel on a full-time basis to a unit. Additional investigative personnel will continue to work with the office of the United States Attorney as required, but not necessarily on a direct assignment.

To ensure that the Department maintains a capability of handling complex economic crime cases, all districts will eventually be included within a region serviced by a Crimina Division Economic Crime Enforcement Specialist as outlined above. The Specialist will provide an intelligence source for the United States Attorney and the Criminal Division in each district, arrange the training of non-unit personnel in handling economic crime matters, and provide guidance for drafting indictments and motions. When performing services to the non-unit offices, the Specialist or any other Crimina Divison attorney will report only to the Criminal Division and the United States Attorney for that non-unit district. The handling of each district's economic crime cases will be the responsibility of each district's United States Attorney The coordination of efforts made by each unit or non-unit office within a region will be the responsibility of the Economic Crime Enforcement Specialist.
