Report Fraud, Waste, or Abuse

QAD's primary mission is to promote integrity, accountability, and efficiency in all operations. QAD strives to prevent, detect, and investigate instances of fraud, waste, and abuse in all divisions of the Department of Safety and Homeland Security including Driver Services and the Tennessee Highway Patrol. Through compliance monitoring of high-risk areas and proactive investigations, QAD safeguards public trust, protects citizens’ identities, and ensures compliance with state and federal regulations.

Help protect public resources by reporting instances of fraud, waste, or abuse.

Fraud: Intentional deception or misrepresentation for personal or financial gain (e.g., identity theft, falsifying documents).

Waste: Mismanagement or misuse of resources that result in unnecessary costs (e.g., excessive spending, inefficient operations).

Abuse: Improper behavior or misuse of authority that violates policies or regulations (e.g., favoritism, unauthorized actions).

Your report helps us maintain accountability and safeguard taxpayer resources. Click the link below to access our secure reporting portal and submit a confidential* report:

*Providing your name and contact information is optional; anonymous tips will be investigated  with the same level of concern as other reports. However, we will not be able to contact you to discuss the investigation or obtain additional information which could limit our ability to investigate fully. If you choose to provide your identity information, it will remain confidential to the extent permitted by law.

This reporting mechanism should not be used for routine personnel issues such as compliments or complaints relating to civil rights, harrassment, or equal employment. To report those such instances, please contact the Office of Professional Accountability.

Thank you for your vigilance!
