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 go to one of those agencies. Your complaint will be more efficiently processed if you go directly to the most appropriate agency. Listed below are the more common complaints with links to the appropriate agency information.
There may be limited instances where you believe that your complaint is not included in this list. If that is the case and you believe the U.S. Attorney’s Office should be made aware directly, please contact this office at 313-226-9700, email USAMIE.Citizen.Response@usdoj.gov or by completing the Citizen Information Form and returning it by mail to this office. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, we are only accepting mail or online submissions of this form.
