The core mission of Criminal Investigation (CI) is the enforcement of the tax laws. However, CI continues to commit financial investigative expertise to investigations involving highly complex narcotics-related financial crimes. Due to limited resources, CI prioritizes its efforts in currency reporting and money laundering enforcement, concentrating on those cases where the size, scope, and complexity of the investigation require the financial investigative expertise of its special agents.

How to Interpret Criminal Investigation Data

Since actions on a specific investigation may cross fiscal years, the data shown in cases initiated may not always represent the same universe of cases shown in other actions within the same fiscal year.

*Incarceration includes confinement to federal prison, halfway house, home detention, or some combination thereof.
