The overall success of the Government’s fight on fraud relies greatly on individuals who identify and report fraudulent conduct to Government agencies. This website serves as one resource for reporting fraud. If you suspect fraud involving Army or Government procurements or involving Government personnel or contractor personnel, you should report it.
-
You can report suspected fraud involving the Army to any one of a number of offices. You may report it to the Army Criminal Investigation Command via the local Army CID office or at the following website: http://www.cid.army.mil/
-
You may also report suspected fraud to the Defense Criminal Investigation Service (via the DOD IG Hotline set forth below).
-
You may report suspected fraud to your local installation Inspector General, or the installation Procurement Fraud Advisor at the Office of the Staff Judge Advocate.
