DoD Hotline

Employee Reporting Requirements

The Talmadge Group is required to inform employees of the existence of the DoD Hotline. If necessary, it is to be used for reporting matters of national security significance. All employees have a responsibility to report security violations regardless if they were deliberate or not. Violations are to be reported to the on-site manager and Facility Security Officer. The Talmadge FSO should also be notified.

Should you believe the situation warrants, Federal agencies maintain hotlines to provide an unconstrained avenue for government and contractor employees to report, without fear of reprisal, known or suspected instances of serious security irregularities and infractions concerning contracts, programs, or projects. These hotlines do not supplant contractor responsibility to facilitate reporting and timely investigation of security matters concerning its operations or personnel, and contractor personnel are encouraged to furnish information through established company channels. However, the hotline may be used as an alternate means to report this type of information when considered prudent or necessary.

The Hotline address and telephone number is as follows:
