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.
