DoD Hotline

Anyone may file a complaint with the DoD Hotline. Our online complaint forms (below) are the most efficient means to file a complaint.

 

Mission

The mission of the DoD Hotline is to provide a confidential, reliable means to report violations of law, rule, or regulation; fraud, waste, and abuse; mismanagement; trafficking in persons; serious security incidents; or other criminal or administrative misconduct that involve DoD personnel and operations, without fear of reprisal.

Although you may contact the DoD Hotline at any time, a quicker way to resolve your complaint is usually to first contact your local or command-level Inspector General's Office.

Matters appropriate for the DoD Hotline
