The Air Force Office of Special Investigations has been the Air Force's major investigative service since Aug.1, 1948. The agency reports to the Inspector General, Office of the Secretary of the Air Force. AFOSI provides professional investigative service to commanders of all Air Force activities. Its primary responsibilities are criminal investigations and counterintelligence services.
On October 17, 2013, AFOSI activated the Office of Procurement Fraud. While AFOSI has conducted procurement fraud investigations since 1948, this new office allows AFOSI to centralize and consolidate procurement fraud investigations, providing the best investigative services possible to our Air Force.
