Criminal Investigator
OEE initiates investigations based on information and intelligence obtained from a variety of sources. OEE conducts investigations to gather testimony and evidence of alleged or suspected violations of dual-use export control laws. OEE works closely with the Department of Justice to impose criminal sanctions for violations, including incarceration and fines, and with the Office of Chief Counsel for Industry and Security to impose civil fines and denials of export privileges. OEE routinely works with other Federal law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security when conducting investigations or preventative actions. OEE conducts its enforcement operations worldwide. To be successful, OEE needs Special Agents who possess a broad range of education, experiences and skills. Our Special Agents come from a wide variety of career backgrounds beyond law enforcement or the military, including foreign affairs, intelligence analysis, science, business and technology. For example, you may utilize foreign language skills to elicit information from a witness to an illegal export, technical skills to place covert recording and transmitting devices on an undercover Special Agent, accounting skills to decipher financial records to trace the illicit flow of money to prohibited entities overseas, or communication and collaboration skills to participate in joint agency investigations.
