DoD Hotline

The Department of Defense (DoD) has a HOTLINE for reporting fraud, waste, and abuse.

Public Law (P.L.) 95-452 and DoD Instruction 7050.3 provide that YOU can report instances of fraud and mismanagement without fear of reprisal and unauthorized disclosure of identity.

It is the Government's policy, and that of DoD and Department of Army, to combat fraud and mismanagement in DoD programs and operations.

The Defense Hotline Program is under the direction and control of the Inspector General, DoD, and that office must ensure that allegations of mismanagement and fraud are properly evaluated, substantive allegations are examined, appropriate administrative, remedial, or prospective actions are taken, and systems of records for the control of the Defense Hotline are established and maintained.

YOU can and are encouraged to report suspected fraud and mismanagement to the Defense Hotline, either toll-free at 1-800-424-9098 or by mail at the Defense Hotline, The Pentagon, Washington D.C. 22301-1900.
