What We Do:
OGC attorneys provide authoritative legal advice on complex and novel legal issues affecting the responsibilities of the DNI and ODNI. OGC attorneys work closely with OGC counterparts in other IC elements and federal departments and agencies more broadly, playing a central role in furthering the DNI’s intelligence integration mission and addressing cutting edge challenges posed by rapidly changing technology, new legislation, and litigation impacting the IC.
Our “in-house law firm” provides a wide array of legal services, requiring that we employ experts not only in constitutional and national security law, but also areas of law including acquisitions and procurement, employment, ethics, intellectual property, international law, legislation, and litigation. While our day-to-day assignments adjust to meet client needs, our values of excellence, integrity, and professionalism remain constant throughout all we do. As do our partner IC legal offices, we seek people with diverse skill sets who want to make a difference for their country.
The Inspector General Act of 1978 created Inspectors General for federal agencies and provides broad authorities for overseeing programs, promoting efficiencies, and detecting fraud, waste, and mismanagement throughout the federal government.
The 2010 Intelligence Authorization Act formally established the Office of the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
In accordance with Title 50 U.S.C.A. Section 3033, the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community (IC IG) conducts independent and objective audits, investigations, inspections, and reviews to promote economy, efficiency, effectiveness, and integration across the Intelligence Community.
The IC IG does so with integrity, professionalism, and independence. We conduct our mission free of external influence and provide objective assessments, findings, and conclusions, regardless of political or personal consequence.
