The Department of Defense Hotline
Anyone may file a complaint with the DoD Hotline.
The mission of the DoD Hotline is to provide a confidential, reliable means to report violations of law, rule or regulation, mismanagement, gross waste of funds, abuse of authority, and classified information leaks involving the Department of Defense; as well as the detection and prevention of threats and danger to the public health and safety of the Department and our Nation.
Select the Type of Complaint to Report
Although you may contact the DoD Hotline at any time, a more expeditious route towards resolution of your problem might best be served by FIRST CONTACTING YOUR LOCAL OR COMMAND-LEVEL INSPECTOR GENERAL'S OFFICE.
