Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General Review of Department's Contractor Personnel Security Process.

摘要

The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) evaluated the time it took the Department of Justice (Department or DOJ) to complete the personnel security process for contractors, how well the Department meets the timeliness and reciprocity requirements of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (IRTPA) and other directives, whether certain positions take longer to process, and whether the Department ensures that only individuals with favorably adjudicated background checks have access to sensitive and National Security Information. Background investigations for the Department are conducted by one of three investigative agencies: the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Individuals in positions that require access to National Security Information (information classified at the Top Secret, Secret, or Confidential level) generally require more in-depth investigations than individuals whose positions do not require access to classified information (typically termed Public Trust positions).
