Picture this: You notice a contractor continuously billing the government for premium, brand-new parts, but they are secretly delivering cheap, refurbished alternatives. That isn’t just a paperwork error that is fraud, and it directly degrades Eglin’s test and evaluation capabilities.

To aggressively tackle this, the 96 TW IG, in partnership with AFOSI, is proud to launch the new "Fraud Dawg" FWA SharePoint Portal and Newsletter. This installation-wide platform is your one-stop shop to stay educated, view hard-hitting "Dawg's Bite" case vignettes (showing the real-world consequences for bad actors), and most importantly, report suspicious activity.

Protecting federal resources is everyone's responsibility. If you see something, say something. Our new portal features a streamlined, 100% anonymous reporting tool so you can come forward without fear of reprisal.
