Office of Professional Responsibility

The Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) is an internal watchdog within the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Its primary role is to ensure that FBI employees uphold ethical standards and comply with the law in their duties. OPR investigates allegations of misconduct, such as abuse of power or violation of FBI policies, and makes recommendations for action if needed. By holding agents accountable, OPR helps maintain public trust in the FBI, ensuring that it operates fairly and justly while carrying out its law enforcement responsibilities.
