Investigations and Review Unit

Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE) Director Michael R. Bromwich has established an Investigations and Review Unit (IRU), a team of professionals with law enforcement backgrounds or technical expertise whose mission is to: promptly and credibly respond to allegations or evidence of misconduct and unethical behavior by Bureau employees; pursue allegations of misconduct by oil and gas companies involved in offshore energy projects; and assure the Bureau's ability to respond swiftly to emerging issues and crises, including significant incidents such as spills and accidents. The IRU will evaluate all information submitted and will, where appropriate, conduct further investigation. The IRU will be sharing allegations of misconduct with the Department of the Interior’s Office of Inspector General (OIG), and they will jointly determine which office conducts any investigation of those allegations.
