Rewards for Justice (RFJ) is the U.S. Department of State’s premier national security rewards program. It was established by the 1984 Act to Combat International Terrorism, Public Law 98-533 (codified at 22 U.S.C. § 2708) and is administered by the Bureau of Diplomatic Security. The mission of RFJ is to offer rewards for information that protects American lives and furthers U.S. national security objectives. Potential tipsters can learn more about the program as well as how to submit tips at the official RFJ website: www.RewardsForJustice.net.
