The Army’s Criminal Investigations Command (CID) and KBR

We all know about the Army’s Criminal Investigation Command, known to most of us as the Army CID. They investigate crimes on US Military Facilities committed against our military personnel or by our military personnel.

But did you know they also investigate crimes against civilian contractors or crimes committed by civilian contractors on military bases. Crimes such as assault, rape, homicide, contract fraud, theft of items more than $1000 USD and so on. I do believe KBR failed to mention that during orientation…or at anytime. Go figure!!

I know KBR would rather have these issues kept “in-house” but that normally does not yield favorable results.

If you are a KBR employee in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Djibouti or any other LOGCAP location and you are a witness to a crime, the victim of a crime or have information about a crime contact your local Military Police (MP’s) or your local CID office. My advice to you is to get that information before you need it. Next time you see a soldier ask them, “Where’s the MP’s office?” or “Where’s the CID office?”

Click HERE for the Army CID website. To report a crime you can also send an email to this address: crimetips@conus.army.mil Make sure you give them enough accurate information so they can investigate. If you give them your contact information you can ask that your identity be protected. If you choose, you can also email me your information or leave it as a comment and I can forward it for you.

I know there are many KBR managers telling their employees they can’t talk to anyone about anything. No talking in the DFAC, the military is listening…blah blah blah!

Here is an excerpt from one of KBR’s own documents.

“You have the right to speak with the government if you wish, but your own rights and interests, as well as those of the company, may be better protected if you have a lawyer with you during any conversation with a government agent.”

Come one people!!! Do you think KBR has YOUR best interest at heart or theirs. KBR’s attorney is not your attorney. That is why they are called “company counsel”. Unless you have signed an agreement with them to represent you, they are not your attorney. You don’t even legally work for KBR. You work for SEII. KBR wants their attorney’s there so they know what you are saying. I am not going to tell you what to do. But, I am going to tell you what I would do…..No freakin’ way would I trust a KBR attorney to have my best interest at heart! Nor would I allow ANYONE from KBR to sit in on any meeting or interview with any Government investigator. It is my opinion that KBR is the one to fear, not the Government.

Now this is just my opinion, but a lot of people are concerned about this “Non-Disclosure Agreement” that we all supposedly signed. I do not believe that would include concealing “alleged crimes”. Now that you have all that information….I hope you will tell those Government investigators what you know.
