Criminal Enforcement Overview

EPA’s criminal enforcement program pursues individual and corporate defendants who have committed serious environmental crimes by providing:

Federal, state and local prosecutors with the evidence needed to prosecute environmental crimes
Environmental forensic analyses and technical evaluations for both civil and criminal enforcement
Computer evidence retrieval and evaluation
Expert legal advice and counsel to EPA, U.S. Attorneys and the Department of Justice

EPA's criminal enforcement program was established in 1982 and was granted full law enforcement authority by Congress in 1988, and today the program employs special agents and investigators, forensic scientists and technicians, lawyers, and support staff.
