Welcome
The purpose of the Inspector General (IG) Hotline Program is to identify and eliminate fraud, waste, and inefficiencies in the operation of the Navy. To be effective, the program requires all personnel to be vigilant against the possibility of illegal or improper acts, and to report to the chain of command, or an IG, any improprieties in this regard.
We encourage you to submit allegation(s) in writing in one of the following ways, email, fax or by letter. The Inspector General hotline is 1-800-249-9284
Our experience has shown that written complaints are more organized, provide more details, and are less emotional. We will evaluate your complaint and request more information, if necessary. Keep in mind, if we conduct an investigation, you will be interviewed and you will be able to provide additional information and documents at that time.
The IG investigates matters involving:
-
Abuse of Authority/Position
-
Bribes/Kickbacks/Acceptance of Gratuities
-
Conflicts of Interest
-
Ethics Violations
-
False Official Statements/Claims
-
Fraud/Travel Fraud (TDY and TAD)
