BLM Law Enforcement Unable to Account for Gift Cards

Report Information

Date Issued
Report Number
17-0820
Report Type
Investigation
Component
Bureau of Land Management
Description
The OIG initiated an investigation after an inventory of a safe located in the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM’s) Office of Law Enforcement and Security (OLES), found that thousands of dollars in gift cards were unaccounted for. We found 119 gift cards in the safe, valued at $2,345, and property receipts that indicated more than $10,000 in gift cards had been provided to a former OLES official and another BLM employee to use towards official purchases. We were unable to determine the disposition of the remaining gift cards because there was no documentation, and the former OLES official and the other BLM employees we interviewed did not recall how the gift cards were disposed of.
