Investigation of Credential Loss by a Supervisory Special Agent

OIG investigated the circumstances surrounding the loss of a law enforcement badge and credentials issued to a bureau supervisory special agent (SSA).

 

We found that the SSA forgot where she had placed her credentials and reported them as lost in May 2014. Several months later, a Government contractor found her credentials, but she made little effort to recover them and failed to notify her supervisors that she had knowledge of their whereabouts. 

 

We provided a copy of this report to the SSA's bureau for any action deemed appropriate. The bureau informed us that the SSA received a letter of reprimand.
