The Office of Inspector General (OIG) administers the provisions of the Inspector General Act of 1978 within the US Department of Labor. The OIG conducts criminal, civil, and administrative investigations relating to violations of Federal laws or regulations, concerning the Department of Labor, and investigates labor racketeering in support of the Justice Department's Organized Crime Program.

The Office of Labor Racketeering & Fraud Investigations (OLRFI) conducts criminal investigations relating to programs, operations, and employees of the Department of Labor, and labor racketeering. In addition, OLRFI investigates organized criminal groups that defraud DOL programs, and federal crimes relating to the circumvention of those programs.

The OIG is committed to working closely with Human Trafficking taskforces to investigate fraud against the Department's work visa programs, and federal crimes that circumvent those programs. Additionally, we will coordinate our investigations with the Department of Labor's program and regulatory agencies to ensure that all available civil and administrative remedies are utilized.
