The policy for conduct of
IG investigations is that investigating officers should thoroughly and
impartially investigate all non-frivolous, substantive allegations of
improper conduct in a professional manner, without command influence,
pressure, or fear of reprisal.
The Investigations Division
conducts investigations to establish sufficient facts to enable
responsible authority to:
- Determine whether
allegations are substantiated; and,
- Decide what action, if
any, to take.
The Naval IG Investigations
Division, Hotlines and Special Inquiries Divisions, investigate violations of law, rule, or
regulations to include:
- Fraud;
- Gross waste or inefficiency of government
resources;
- Abuse and misuse of authority /power/position;
- Mismanagement;
- Substantial and specific danger to public health or
safety;
- Procurement irregularities;
- Reprisals;
- Wrongdoing by senior officials; and,
- Other matters of interest to the Secretary of the
Navy.

The Naval Inspector General is comprised of two divisions:
Hotlines
Division
Special Inquiries Division
The Office of the Naval Inspector General
is the headquarters office for all matters concerning fraud, waste, and
mismanagement. We are responsible for establishing and implementing
policy regarding IG matters for the entire Navy.
The Hotlines Division manages the hotline
complaints received at the Naval Inspector General's office and the
Department of Defense Inspector General. Generally, we do not
conduct investigations. Upon receipt of a complaint, we determine
whether or not the subject matter is appropriate for the IG then we forward
the complaint to the Echelon 2 Inspector General who has cognizance over the
subject of the complaint.
If you are considering filing a hotline complaint,
please review the Hotline Complaint
Procedure.
