Hotline Complaint Procedure       

 

Return to:  NAVINSGEN Home

Before you begin:  Before filing a complaint with a Navy Inspector General, please review the 4 categories below to ensure the hotline is the appropriate process to resolve your issue. This procedure is also outlined in a convenient Trifold.

1

 

If you have already filed a complaint with another office/agency concerning your issue and the investigation is ongoing, continue to pursue your complaint with that office until the investigation is completed.  We will not initiate an investigation into a complaint that is already being addressed using another process.

If you have already contacted a member of Congress concerning an issue, please continue to pursue resolution of your complaint with your Congressman as we can not duplicate the process you have already initiated by contacting a member of Congress.
