GENERAL INVESTIGATION
The Investigations Division performs general, administrative and criminal investigations of matters of interest to the DLA Director, DLA Senior Leadership, and DLA Office of the General Counsel. In addition, Investigations Division assists Defense Criminal Investigative Organizations (DCIO) such as DCIS, Naval Criminal Investigation Service (NCIS), Air Force Office of Special Investigation (AFOSI), United States Army Criminal Investigations Division Command (USACIDC) and other law enforcement agencies in their investigations where DLA is a party of interest. Investigations Division conducts investigations where DLA has an interest when DCIOs or other investigative agencies decline to do so.
Our focus is the DLA customer and DLA mission worldwide. We provide a service that the other investigative organizations do not have the resources or time to provide. Criminal prosecution is not our only objective.
Our interest does not end if the Assistant U.S. Attorney declines prosecution. When a DLA manager has a problem, we work it until the problem is resolved.
Our focus is internal to DLA.
Misuse of Government Resources (to include Government computers)
Hotline Investigations
Our measure of success is the satisfaction of DLA leaders at all levels.
TRADE SECURITY CONTROLS
Trade Security Controls (TSC) prevent illegal acquisition or other unauthorized transfers of defense and dual-use technology goods, services and munitions by or to individuals, entities and/or countries whose interests are adverse to the United States. TSC helps prevent those technologies, goods, services and munitions from being exported directly or indirectly into unauthorized areas designated by the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Commerce, or the Director of Foreign Assets Control. Investigations Division Special Agents conduct investigations and ensure the enforcement of TSC, which identify/prevent the illegal transfer of Munitions List and Commerce Control List items to countries unfriendly to the United States. These activities include performing clearance checks on bidders prior to delivery of property and performing post-sale investigations and monitoring of property after delivery. Investigations Division conducts related criminal investigations pertaining to the worldwide sales of surplus property by DLA/DRMS.

RECORDS REPOSITORY
Investigations Division is the repository for official record copies of all DLA Criminal Incident Reports for a 25 year retention period. We ensure proper reporting into the DLA Office of Inspector General and respond to external requests for records. DLA Office of Inspector General is the program manager for the DLA Criminal Incident Records System (DCIRS) used by DLA Office of Inspector General, Field Activity Public Safety Offices, and the Office of General Counsel.
DLA Enterprise Hotline Program
DLA Office of Inspector General manages the DLA Enterprise Hotline Program. It is the sole program for the management of hotlines of fraud, waste, abuse, or mismanagement across the DLA Enterprise. PLFA programs to address concerns or issues other than fraud, waste, abuse, or mismanagement are not referred to as a Hotline. All fraud, waste, abuse, or mismanagement hotlines received by DLA HQs Elements or PLFA's are promptly forwarded to the DLA Enterprise Hotline Program Office. The DLA Hotline is 1-800-411-9127 or 703-767-5447/DSN 427-5447. The fax number is 703-767-5423.
