Field Investigative Reporting System (FIRS)

The USSS, Office of Investigations, has a continuing requirement to safeguard the payment and financial systems of the United States. This has been historically accomplished through the enforcement of the counterfeiting statutes to preserve the integrity of United States currency, coin and financial obligations.

Since 1984, our investigative responsibilities have expanded to include crimes that involve financial institution fraud, computer and telecommunications fraud, false identification documents, access device fraud, advance fee fraud, electronic funds transfers, and money laundering as it relates to our core violations. The Field Investigative Reporting System (FIRS) facilitates the reporting of law enforcement activities within the jurisdiction of the USSS that support the criminal investigations.
