***The DIA Office of the Inspector General (OIG) can only accept UNCLASSIFIED complaints on the NIPRnet system. Please do not provide any classified information in this complaint form. Only UNCLASSIFIED or FOUO information is permitted. If you need to file a classified complaint, you can file via our JWICS or SIPR websites.


The Inspector General Act of 1978, as amended, and other laws and regulations provide DIA OIG authority to receive and investigate complaints of potential violations of law, rules, or regulations; gross mismanagement; gross waste of funds; abuse of authority; or substantial and specific danger to public health and safety. Presidential Policy Directive 19 (PPD-19), “Protecting Whistleblowers with Access to Classified Information,” title 10, United States Code, section 1034 (10 U.S.C. § 1034), “Protected communications; prohibition of retaliatory personnel actions,” and other laws and regulations ensure that DIA civilians, contractor employees, employees of nonappropriated fund instrumentalities (NAFI), or servicemembers assigned to DIA can report such complaints without fear of reprisal. Reprisal occurs when a management official takes, or in some cases threatens to take, unfavorable action against an individual or withholds favorable action because of a protected disclosure or communication, such as reporting suspected fraud, waste, or abuse. Reprisal or retaliation against anyone who has reported violations of law or regulation to the OIG, your chain of supervision, or any activity authorized to receive such reports is a violation of Federal law.


DATA REQUIRED BY THE PRIVACY ACT OF 1974
PURPOSE: To obtain sufficient information to inquire into matters presented and to provide appropriate responses, referrals, or inquiries, where deemed appropriate.

ROUTINE USES: The OIG may use the information you provide to investigate allegations of fraud, waste, abuse, and misconduct by Department of Defense employees, contractors, or grantees. The OIG is authorized to collect this information pursuant to the Inspector General Act of 1978 as amended, title 5 U.S.C. section 401, et seq. Submission of any information is voluntary; however, failure to provide the OIG with all of the information needed to investigate could result in an incomplete investigation. The information is also used for official purposes to answer complaints or respond to requests for assistance, advice, or information; by members of Congress and other government agencies when determined by the DIA OIG to be in the best of interest of the U.S. Government. The information collected as part of a whistleblower complaint may also be used for other routine uses.
