1.1.3: Law Enforcement

Conduct biennial audits, inspections, and evaluations of the LEU and PSU.

Other Information:

The Board's law enforcement activities. The USA PATRIOT Act granted the Board certain federal law enforcement authorities and established the Board's Law Enforcement Unit (LEU) and Protective Services Unit (PSU)... To implement its authorities, the Board promulgated the Uniform Regulations for Federal Reserve Law Enforcement Officers, which designated the Board's OIG as the EOF responsible for reviewing and evaluating the Board's law enforcement programs and operations. We fulfill our EOF responsibilities by conducting biennial audits, inspections, and evaluations of the LEU and PSU. We plan to address topics such as force structure and deployment, contingency planning and readiness, training, performance evaluations, use of equipment and technology, firearms and ammunition inventory procedures, and succession planning.
