Investigation of Allegations of Cheating on the FBI’s Domestic Investigations and Operations Guide Exam

by on

Investigation of Allegations of Cheating on the FBI’s Domestic Investigations and Operations Guide (DIOG) Exam, Office of the Inspector General Oversight and Review Division September 2010.

  • “Many of the FBI employees we interviewed commented on perceived deficiencies in the DIOG training and exam, such as the amount of time consumed by the training and the exam, the difficulty of the test, and the exam’s wording and administration. The training was time-consuming, the exam was substantively harder than most FBI training exams, its administration was different from previous exams, and some of the questions were poorly phrased. However, we do not believe those factors excuse the cheating and improper conduct that we found that some FBI employees engaged in when taking this test. The new DIOG is a fundamental document for ensuring that FBI investigations are conducted according to law and policy, and the FBI appropriately placed a high priority on ensuring that FBI personnel learned and understood the new guidelines through training and mandatory testing. Yet, a significant number of the FBI employees we interviewed cheated on the test and did not comply with the test conditions.”
