Justice Manual § 9-50.101
United States Attorneys
The United States Attorneys have primary responsibility for implementing the CHIP program. These responsibilities include implementing the Department’s cyber and cyber-enabled crime and intellectual property crime strategies; ensuring that experienced and technically qualified Assistant United States Attorneys (AUSAs) serve as the district’s CHIP prosecutors; ensuring that full time equivalent (FTE) CHIP resources are dedicated to CHIP program objectives; ensuring that the USAO notifies, consults, and coordinates with CCIPS and other USAOs in accordance with JM 9-50.400; and promoting and ensuring effective interaction with law enforcement, industry representatives, and the public in matters relating to computer and intellectual-property crime. The United States Attorney should also ensure that each CHIP AUSA attends relevant training sponsored by the EOUSA’s Office of Legal Education (OLE), and in turn trains and advises prosecutors within the district.
