*IOD-The Investigative Operations Division of the United States Marshals Service (USMS)
The office of the Inspector General calls the purchases "excessive," and cited a spending growth of 975 percent. From the report:
"We found that the IOD spent at least $793,118 on promotional items during fiscal years 2005 to 2010 and that these expenditures were excessive and, in some instances, in contravention of Department Policies and Government Accountability Office (GAO) decisions and guidance. Furthermore, IOD's spending on promotional items increased by 975 percent during the 6-year period examined by the OIG and vastly outpaced the growth of the USMS's appropriation during the same period."
