The primary charge of the IGQ is to sustain a credible Air Force IG system by ensuring a responsive Complaints Resolution Program (CRP) and active Fraud, Waste and Abuse Program (FWA).
Who Do We Assist/Who May File a Complaint?
Airmen of all ranks, civilian employees, retirees, family members and other civilians.
Issues Within the IG's Purview:
Violations of law, regulation, instruction, policy procedures or rules; fraud, waste and abuse of authority; restriction; reprisal.
What is Reprisal?
Reprisal is taking or threatening to take an unfavorable personnel action or withholding or threatening to withhold a favorable personnel action on a military member for making or preparing to make a protected communication.
What is Restriction?
Restriction is preventing or attempting to prevent members of the Armed Forces from making or preparing lawful communications to members of Congress and/or an IG.
Complaints Not Appropriate for the IG System:
The IG CRP should not be used for matters normally addressed through other established grievance or appeals channels, unless there is evidence those channels mishandled the matter or process.
Attribution of Complaints:
IG complaints and reports of fraud, waste and abuse may be filed anonymously.
