Citizen Complaints

The U.S. Attorney’s Office is primarily a litigating office and not an investigative office. Almost all the complaints received request that we investigate some allegation. We either refer those complaints to one of the investigating agencies or we return the complaint with instructions to seek assistance from one of those agencies. Complaints will be more efficiently processed if presented directly to the appropriate agency. Listed below are some of the most common complaints we receive with links to the appropriate investigative agency.

If you are not sure which agency to contact, please contact this office at 340-774-5757, or complete the Citizen Information Form and returning it by mail to this office.
