Procurement Fraud
The introduction of counterfeit material and other forms of unauthorized product substitution into the procurement system has historically been and continues to be one of DCIS's highest priorities for deterrence, investigation, and prosecution. Procurement fraud investigations have always comprised a major part of the DCIS inventory. An area of increased emphasis is readiness enhancement through vigorous detection and investigation of defective or substituted products that involve either safety of flight issues or have a critical application (see DCIS Procurement Fraud Program).
DCIS also investigates allegations of fraud and abuse in DoD environmental programs, including environmental terrorism and contract fraud with regard to the delivery, removal, transport, and disposal of hazardous material/waste from DoD installations (see DCIS Environmental Crimes Program).
Public Corruption
Public Corruption is the breach of public trust by elected or appointed U.S. Government Officials who ask, demand, solicit, seek, accept, receive, or agree to receive anything of value in return for preferred treatment.
One major area of public corruption: Health Care Fraud. DCIS conducts significant investigations involving TRICARE, a managed healthcare insurance program administered by the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs), that provides health care to active duty, retired military personnel and their family members.
