As the largest law firm in the Nation, the Department of Justice serves
as counsel for its citizens. It represents them in enforcing the law in
the public interest. Through its thousands of lawyers, investigators,
and agents, the Department plays the key role in protection against
criminals and subversion, in ensuring healthy competition of business in
our free enterprise system, in safeguarding the consumer, and in
enforcing drug, immigration, and naturalization laws.
The Department of Justice was established by act of June 22, 1870 (28
U.S.C. 501, 503, 509 note), with the Attorney General as its head. The
affairs and activities of the Department of Justice are generally
directed by the Attorney General.
Attorney General The Attorney General represents the United States in
legal matters generally and gives advice and opinions to the President
and to the heads of the executive departments of the Government when so
requested. The Attorney General appears in person to represent the
Government before the U.S. Supreme Court in cases of exceptional gravity
or importance.
Community Relations The Service offers assistance to communities in
resolving disputes relating to race, color, or national origin and

Divisions
Antitrust Division
The Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Antitrust Division is
responsible for promoting and maintaining competitive markets by
enforcing the Federal antitrust laws. This involves investigating
possible antitrust violations, conducting grand jury proceedings,
reviewing proposed mergers and acquisitions, preparing and trying
antitrust cases, prosecuting appeals, and negotiating and enforcing
final judgments. The Division prosecutes serious and willful violations
of antitrust laws by filing criminal suits that can lead to large fines
and jail sentences. Where criminal prosecution is not appropriate, the
Division seeks a court order forbidding future violations of the law and
requiring steps by the defendant to remedy the anticompetitive effects
of past violations.
The Division also is responsible for acting as an advocate of
competition within the Federal Government as well as internationally.
This involves formal appearances in Federal administrative agency
proceedings, development of legislative initiatives to promote
deregulation and eliminate unjustifiable exemptions from the antitrust
laws, and participation on executive branch policy task forces and in
multilateral international organizations. The Division provides formal
advice to other agencies on the competitive implications of proposed
transactions requiring Federal approval, such as mergers of financial
institutions.

all violations of Federal law except those that have been assigned by
legislative enactment or otherwise to another Federal agency. Its
jurisdiction includes a wide range of responsibilities in the national
security, criminal, and civil fields. Priority has been assigned to the

The community corrections and detention division assists in the
development and administration of contracts and intergovernmental
agreements for the confinement of selected Federal offenders in
community-based programs, detention centers, juvenile facilities, State
prisons, local jails, and privately-operated prisons. The division also
coordinates the Bureau's privatization efforts and the transition of the
District of Columbia sentenced felon population to the Bureau. The
volunteer management branch promotes and coordinates programs for
citizen, inmate, and staff volunteerism in Bureau institutions and local
communities.
The correctional programs division develops activities and programs
designed to classify inmates appropriately, eliminate inmate idleness,
and instill a positive work ethic. Programs include psychology services,
religious services, substance abuse treatment, programs for special
needs offenders, and case management. The division provides policy
direction and daily operational oversight of institution security,
emergency preparedness, intelligence gathering, inmate discipline,
inmate sentence computations, receiving and discharge, and inmate
transportation, as well as the Bureau's coordination with other
countries on treaty transfers and the special security needs of inmates
placed in the Federal Witness Protection Program. The division, along
with the community corrections and detention division, also ensures the
Bureau's compliance with the 1997 law that mandates the transfer of
sentenced felons from the District of Columbia Department of Corrections
into Federal custody.
The industries, education, and vocational training division has
managerial oversight of the Bureau's education, recreation, and
vocational training programs. It also oversees the Federal Prison
Industries, or UNICOR (UNICOR), which is a wholly-owned Government
corporation that provides employment and training opportunities for
inmates confined in Federal correctional facilities.
The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) provides technical
assistance, training, and information to State and local corrections

United States National Central Bureau-International Criminal Police
Organization
Washington, DC 20530. Phone, 202-616-9000
The U.S. National Central Bureau (USNCB) represents the United States in
INTERPOL, the International Criminal Police Organization. Also known as
INTERPOL--Washington, USNCB provides an essential communications link
between the U.S. police community and their counterparts in the foreign
member countries.
INTERPOL is an association of 178 countries dedicated to promoting
mutual assistance among law enforcement authorities in the prevention
and suppression of international crime. With no police force of its own,
INTERPOL has no powers of arrest or search and seizure. Instead,
INTERPOL serves as a channel of communication among the police of the
member countries, and provides a forum for discussions, working group
meetings, and symposia to enable police to focus on specific areas of
criminal activity affecting their countries.
Under the State and Local Law Enforcement Program, States establish
an office within their own law enforcement community to serve as liaison
to USNCB. International leads developed in criminal investigations being
conducted by a State or local police entity can be pursued through their
liaison office, and criminal investigative requests from abroad are
funneled through the relevant State liaison office for action by the
appropriate State or local agency. All 50 States and the District of
Columbia now participate in the liaison program, which is currently
coordinated by a representative from the Maryland State Police.
USNCB has three sub-bureaus which serve to more effectively address
the law enforcement needs of U.S. territories. The sub-bureaus are
located in Puerto Rico, American Samoa, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

INTERPOL, Washington, DC 20530. Phone, 202-616-9000.

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is the lead Federal agency in

was created in July 1973, by Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1973 (5 U.S.C.

cases to the criminal and civil justice systems of the United States--or
any other competent jurisdiction--on those significant organizations and
their members involved in cultivation, production, smuggling,
distribution, or diversion of controlled substances appearing in or
destined for illegal traffic in the United States. DEA immobilizes these
organizations by arresting their members, confiscating their drugs, and
seizing their assets; and creates, manages, and supports enforcement-
related programs--domestically and internationally--aimed at reducing
the availability of and demand for controlled substances.
The Administration's responsibilities include:
--investigation of major narcotic violators who operate at
interstate and international levels;
--seizure and forfeiture of assets derived from, traceable to, or
intended to be used for illicit drug trafficking;
--enforcement of regulations governing the legal manufacture,
distribution, and dispensing of controlled substances;
--management of a national narcotics intelligence system;
--coordination with Federal, State, and local law enforcement
authorities and cooperation with counterpart agencies abroad; and
--training, scientific research, and information exchange in support
of drug traffic prevention and control.
The Administration maintains liaison with the United Nations,
INTERPOL, and other organizations on matters relating to international
narcotics control programs. It has offices throughout the United States
and in 56 foreign countries.
