The Naval Inspector General (NAVINSGEN) Investigations Division is transforming how it handles complaints to better support our Sailors, their families, and our civilian workforce. With a renewed focus on "professionalism, respect, and empathy," the division has implemented comprehensive reforms to ensure every report of fraud, waste, abuse, or mismanagement is addressed efficiently and effectively.
