(U) PREAMBLE
‘August 17, 2011
(U) As the primary investigative agency of the federal government, the FBI has the authority and
responsibility to investigate all violations of federal law that are not exclusively assigned to
another federal agency. The FBI is further vested by law and by Presidential directives with the
primary role in carrying out criminal investigations and investigations of threats to the national
security of the United States. This includes the lead domestic role in investigating international
terrorist threats to the United States, and in condycting counterintelligence activities to counter
foreign entities’ espionage and intelligence efforts directed against the United States. The FBI is
also Vested with important functions in collecting foreign intelligence as a member agency of the
United States Intelligence Community (USIC). (AGG-Dom, Introduction)
(U) While investigating crime, terrorism, and threats to the national security, and collecting
forcign intelligence, the FBI must fully comply with all laws and regulations, including those
designed to protect civil liberties and privacy. Through compliance, the FBI will continue 1c earn
the support, confidence and respect of the people of the United States.
(U) To assist the FBI in its mission, the Attorney General signed the Arrormey General's
Guidelines for Domestic FBI Operations (AGG-Dom) on September 29, 2008. The primary
purpose of the AGG-Dom and the Domestic Investigations and Operations Guide (DIOG) is to
standardize policy so that criminal, national security, and foreign intelligence investigative
activities are accomplished in a consistent manner, whenever possible (¢.8. Same approval,
notification, and reporting requirements). In addition to the DIOG, each FBIHQ operational
division has a policy implementation guide (PG) that supplements this document, Numerous FBI
manuals, electronic communications, letterhead memoranda, and other policy documents are
incorporated into the DIOG and the operational division policy implementation guides, thus,
consolidating the FBI's policy guidance. The FBIHQ Corporate Policy Office (CPO) piays an
instrumental rote in this endeavor. Specifically, the CPO maintains the most current version of
the DIOG on its website, As federal statutes, executive orders, Attorney General guidelines, FBI
policies, or other relevant authorities change, CPO witl electronically update the DIOG after
appropriate coordination and required approvals.
(U) This revised DIOG is a direct result of more than 700 comments received fom field and
Headquarters employees after release of the initial DIOG in December 2008. Each suggestion
1was reviewed by a working group comprised of experienced field agents and Chief Division
‘Counsels, as well as representatives from the CPO, the Office of General Counsel (OGC), and
the Office of Integrity and Compliarice (OIC). Many of these changes and suggestions have been
incorporated in the revised DIOG. These changes to the DIOG should better equip you to protect
the people of the United States against crime and threats tothe national security and to collect
foreign intelligence. This is your document, and it requires your input so that we can provide the
best service to our nation. If you discover a need for change, please forward your suggestion to
FBIHQ CPO.
(U) Thank you for your outstanding service!
