Document security Justice can improve its controls over classified and sensitive documents : report to the Chairman, Information, Justice, Transportation and Agriculture Subcommittee, Committee on Government Operations, House of Representatives
The increasing strength and boldness of drug-trafficking cartels, organized crime families, and terrorists make it essential that the Justice Department adequately safeguard its classified and sensitive information. Security breaches could have deadly consequences if the identities of law enforcement officers, witnesses, and others were leaked. Although Justice has a framework of regulations governing the handling of this material, which includes everything from grand jury investigations to tax cases to national security matters, GAO found instances in which Justice's document security could be beefed up. First, Justice's Security Compliance Group should consider increasing the number of security reviews that it does each year at Justice locations across the country. Second, although the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has identified many security violations within its headquarters building--nightly security patrols discovered about 4,400 security violations between 1990 and 1992--disciplinary actions taken against violators did not fully comply with FBI guidelines. Third, to ensure that all classified documents are delivered properly via the interoffice courier mail systems, established controls for sending classified documents should be followed more closely.
