Whistleblower Policy

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York (the “Office”) has implemented a new Whistleblower Non-Prosecution Pilot Program (the “Whistleblower Pilot Program”).  The Whistleblower Pilot Program, which is effective immediately, is designed to encourage individuals to disclose original and actionable information about previously unknown criminal conduct undertaken by or through public or private entities or organizations.  It does so by providing transparency regarding the conditions under which an individual’s voluntary self-disclosure of criminal conduct to the Office, coupled with the agreement to fully cooperate in the investigation of others involved, may make the individual eligible for a non-prosecution agreement (“NPA”).  The Whistleblower Pilot Program will enable the Office to investigate and hold wrongdoers accountable more quickly, particularly with respect to criminal conduct that might otherwise go undetected or be impossible to prove, and will, in turn, further encourage companies to create and enforce compliance programs that help prevent, detect, and remediate misconduct and to report misconduct when it occurs.
