REPORT A FEDERAL CRIME
The United States Attorney's Office is a prosecutorial agency primarily dedicated to enforcing federal laws and representing the United States of America in court proceedings. While the United States Attorney's Office assists federal agencies with investigative functions, the Office is not an investigative agency.
Accordingly, citizen concerns and complaints not related to a publicly filed matter currently pending in the United States Attorney's Office should be referred directly to the appropriate investigating agency. Listed below are the more common investigative issues with links to the appropriate agency information.
To report a federal crime, please click here, complete and submit the form. Please submit only this form to the United States Attorney’s Office. No complaints will be addressed without this completed form. Do not send packages or supplemental materials. The volume of information we receive from concerned members of the public prevents us from responding individually to every form submitted, but please be assured that we will carefully consider the information you have provided. Should we determine that the information in your form raises a matter within the jurisdiction of this Office to investigate and that further information is necessary for our investigation, you will be contacted.
If you cannot access the form, you may leave a message at 213-894-8809.
