The US DOJ's Office of Professional Responsibility

The United States Department of Justice’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) was created in 1975 as one response to the ethical abuses and misconduct committed by Justice Department officials during the Watergate scandal. OPR’s mission is to hold accountable Justice Department attorneys, and law enforcement agents who work with those attorneys, who abuse their power as prosecutors or otherwise violate the high ethical standards required of the nation’s chief law enforcement agency. OPR’s mission is also to exonerate those who have been wrongfully accused of misconduct.
