E.2: Public Corruption
Reduce public corruption in the country’s federal, state, and local governments and judicial systems to increase public confidence
in our nation’s government institutions.
Other Information:
Rapid, fair, and accurate investigation of corruption allegations against federal, state, and local officials will remain
an FBI imperative. This is critical because of the sensitive nature of accusations against public officials, coupled with
the tremendous loss of public funds and confidence when corruption occurs. Priority Actions: Deter corruption by aggressively
pursuing high-level corruption. Strengthen partnerships with watchdog groups, the American Bar Association, ethics committees,
the Federal Election Commission, and other stakeholders to identify public corruption issues and trends. Create and enhance
media awareness campaigns to increase public support of anti-corruption initiatives and maintain confidence in government
institutions. Expand the scope and breadth of human source reporting on corruption matters. Expand the public corruption intelligence
base.
