• Complete intensive Federal law enforcement training that prepares them to interview witnesses, perform undercover and surveillance activities, make arrests, and participate in Federal strike forces.

Auditors

• Plan and conduct audits of DOL programs, operations, and financial statements.
• Review costs incurred by grantees and contractors.
• Determine whether programs have achieved their goals in an efficient manner.
• Recommend improvements.
• Use audit tools that combine both traditional and cutting edge technology.
