RECOMMENDATIONS ISSUED BY THE OFFICE OF THE INSPECTOR

GENERAL THAT WERE NOT CLOSED AS OF MARCH 31, 2020

The attached report contains information about recommendations from the 

Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of the Inspector General’s (OIG) audits, 

evaluations, reviews, and other reports that the OIG had not closed as of March 31, 

2020. The OIG has omitted from past reports recommendations that the DOJ 

determined contained information that was limited official use or classified, and we 

noted that we were doing so. To more accurately represent the number of 

recommendations that have not been closed and the reports in which the 

recommendations were made, beginning with this report, such recommendations 

that the DOJ determined contain information that is limited official use or classified 

will be indicated as follows: “[Description omitted; DOJ has determined that this 

recommendation contains information that is limited official use or classified.]” The 

DOJ may identify a recommendation as containing limited official use or classified 

information if it determines, for example, that its disclosure to unauthorized 

individuals could negatively impact law enforcement operations, sources, or 

methods; expose operational vulnerabilities; or harm national security. 

The status of each recommendation is subject to change due to the DOJ’s 

ongoing efforts to implement them, and the OIG’s independent review of 

information about those efforts. Specifically, a recommendation identified as not 

closed as of March 31, 2020, may now be closed as a result of actions taken after 

that date. Although the Department may have taken steps to implement the 

recommendations listed in this report, including by partially remedying the 

questioned costs associated with a recommendation, a recommendation is not 

considered closed until it has been fully implemented. Please note that the 

Department has provided updates for certain recommendations prior to the date of 

this report that are still under review by the OIG. In addition, the OIG sometimes 

issues recommendations with multiple subparts in order to better track their 

implementation. Therefore, the recommendations in the attached report list 

subparts as separate items.

The following categories are used to describe the status of the recommendations 

in the report:

• Response Not Yet Due – The Department’s initial response to the 

recommendation is not yet due. 

• Resolved – The Department has agreed to implement the recommendation 

or has proposed actions that will address the recommendation.

• Unresolved – The initial deadline for the Department’s response to the 

recommendation has passed, and the Department has not agreed to 

implement the recommendation or has not proposed actions that will address 

the recommendation. The OIG may also convert a recommendation from 

“Resolved” to “Unresolved” if it determines that the Department is not 

making sufficient progress towards implementation.
2 

• On Hold/Pending with OIG– The completion of the OIG’s assessment of 

the status of the recommendation is on hold or pending due to ongoing 

reviews or other factors.

The information in the following chart is derived from the attached report and 

includes recommendations that are in the categories described above as of March 

31, 2020.

Establish a policy or directive sufficient to ensure that, if 

the DEA or the Department considers reinstating a 

version of [REDACTED] or [REDACTED], or initiating 

another “bulk collection” program by use of administrative 

subpoenas, the DEA, in consultation with relevant DOJ 

components (e.g., the Criminal Division and the OLC), 

conducts a rigorous, objective legal analysis, 

memorialized in writing, in advance of reinstating or 

initiating such “bulk collection” program by use of 

administrative subpoenas. The policy or directive should 

ensure that any such legal analysis specifically addresses 

whether 21 U.S.C. § 876(a) authorizes the issuance of 

subpoenas of the type contemplated (i.e., non-targeted, 

for exploratory or target-development purposes), as well 

as the permissible conditions under which such bulk data 

collected by non-targeted administrative subpoenas may

In the interim, and subject to the results of

guidance and training materials should further make 

explicit that, if discovery requirements threaten disclosure 

of the program, prosecutors may seek to protect the 

program through appropriate process, such as protective 

orders or ex parte proceedings, and that, depending on 

the circumstances, the government may eventually be 

required to choose between disclosure or dismissal, but

DEA 05/24/2017 2 On

Establish protocols that will ensure that, in joint 

operations abroad in which critical incidents are possible, 

appropriate and sufficient mechanisms are in place in the 

event of a critical incident to support the law enforcement 

personnel on the ground (including the availability of 

additional forces and airlift support), provide for the 

processing of the crime scene without prolonged delay, 

and allow for any and all search and rescue missions that 

may become necessary.

investigates all shootings during joint operations abroad 

in which initial reporting or available information is that 

DEA personnel either may have discharged their

instruct other individuals to fire, or it is determined that

Because DEA’s post-shooting incident procedures do not 

provide delegation guidelines for foreign incidents or, in 

the case of domestic incidents, state whether the 

investigation will be investigated directly by IN or 

delegated to the field when the incident involves 

significant injuries, death, or other significant liabilities, 

DEA’s procedures should be revised to clarify the 

circumstances under which shooting incidents are to be 

investigated directly by the Office of Inspections and the 

circumstances under which investigations will be 

delegated to the field.

Responses by the Department of State and Drug 

Enforcement Administration to Three Deadly 

Force Incidents in Honduras

DEA 05/24/2017 8 On 

Hold/Pending 

with OIG

In connection with future counternarcotics operations 

outside the United States, DEA should work with the 

relevant U.S. Embassy and host nation partners to 

develop a specific protocol, in advance of the operation, 

that will determine which entity or entities will investigate 

a shooting or other critical incident that occurs during the 

operation; the scope and requirements of such an 

investigation; what information will be shared between 

and among the relevant entities for use in such 

investigation and when that will occur; and the time-frame 

and procedures for sharing of the results of the 

investigation. Such protocols should ensure timely 

access to relevant information by the Chief of Mission, as 

well as whatever entity or entities is or are involved in the 

investigation of any shooting or other critical incident, and 

include a procedure to identify and resolve conflicting 

evidence or investigative gaps when more than one such 

entity is involved in the investigation. To the extent DEA 

and the COM determine that certain information should 

not be provided to the host nation, DEA should work with 

the Embassy to ensure that any investigation conducted 

by the host nation receives sufficient information to allow 

for a meaningful and thorough review of the relevant 

facts. DEA should not undertake future joint 

counternarcotics operations with its foreign counterparts 

outside the United States in instances where it is unable 

to reach agreement with the U.S. Embassy and its foreign 

counterparts in advance on such basic post-incident 

protocols, at least in circumstances where shootings or 

other critical incidents are a possibility.
