Investigation of Allegations of Cheating on FBI's Domestic Investigations and Operations Guide (DIOG) Exam

摘要

In December 2008, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) implemented a new Domestic Investigations and Operations Guide (DIOG), which described the procedures its employees must follow when conducting domestic investigations. The DIOG replaced several older sets of guidelines that separately addressed criminal investigations, national security investigations, and foreign intelligence collection. According to testimony provided in 2008 by the FBI's General Counsel to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, the DIOG is an outgrowth of the FBI's post-September 11, 2001, transformation from primarily a law enforcement agency to a domestic intelligence agency that focuses on its national security and law enforcement missions. To help implement this transformation, in 2007 the FBI asked the Attorney General to combine several sets of guidelines that had previously governed the FBI into a single set that would reflect the FBI's changed priorities.
