JAG/NLSC Inspector General

The OJAG/NLSC IG Hotline Program provides individuals, who have first addressed their issues to their chain-of-command for resolution, an opportunity to report significant instances of fraud, waste, abuse of authority, and gross mismanagement. It is OJAG and NLSC policy to combat fraud, waste, abuse and mismanagement in Department of the Navy programs and operations. The OJAG/NLSC Hotline Program strives to ensure that allegations are properly evaluated and examined, and that appropriate remedial and corrective actions are taken.

What Should Be Reported?

The below listed violations should be reported to the OJAG/NLSC IG Hotline:

  • Violations of law, rule, or regulation
  • Substantial and specific danger to public health or safety
  • Bribery and acceptance of gratuities
  • Cases of mismanagement
  • Conflicts of interest
  • Travel (TDY/TAD) fraud
  • Abuse of authority

  • Military Reprisal (Violations of the Whistleblower Protection Act involving service members)
  • Violations of the Whistleblower Protection Act involving civilian DoD personnel and non-appropriated fund employees
  • Improper referrals of military personnel for mental health evaluations
  • Gross waste of funds

We recommend that you read the following information about what to include in your complaint before you submit your Hotline complaint:

When calling or sending in a complaint, please be as specific as possible. Your complaint should provide:

  • Service member's or employee's full name
  • rank or pay grade

  • specifically what wrongdoing you are reporting
  • specific dates and times
  • specific location where wrongdoing occurred
  • how the individual completed the alleged wrongdoing
