A contract investigator fighting an unjust claim of being unsuitable by OPM FISD, after working for some time in the industry commited suicide.

The suspensions were conducted by Kathy Dillaman of OPM FISD, her staff to include those of USIS who were contracted by Dillaman to review the work of contract investigators.

Contracting Companies conducting backgrounds for OPM FISD and other agencies for years QUIT the OPM FISD contract (MSM & Omnisec) which caused a loss of over 4 thousand contract investigators and knowledgeable staff, because of OPM FISD abuse of power…

Those wrongfully accused of unproven criminal acts, made every effort to obtain proper due process, but OPM Officials failed in every sense of the word to provide fair and impartial justice, and purposely disregarded all responses and correspondence. The offices included: Director of OPM; OPM Inspector General; OPM FISD and the OPM General Counsel.

Dillaman, Director of OPM FISD purposely delays all inquiries against her, and her office, by ignoring all requests and appeals, which in it self is the route to the delays of security backgrounds. All those of OPM FISD had deliberately ignored our Constitutional and Federal Laws, Regulations and OPM Notices. Even the OPM General Counsel’s Office to include the OPM IG ignored all responses for a request of due process.

OPM FISD continuous deception and delays, is an endless road. The lack of fair and impartial justice not given and abuse of power, by those within OPM is the real reason for the backlog. Those great man and woman, with extensive experience, that have been conducting security backgrounds for years, under contract, are leaving the business, because of Dillaman and her staff’s unethical practices of abuse and injustice..

There are people in the business that can correct the backlog of security backgrounds in months, but because of the reputation of injustice and abuse of power, to include deception of OPM FISD, it will never be corrected.

This country depends on our soldiers and agents in the field, to protect us. Since the 80’s those soldiers and agents continued after retirement, as contract investigators, conducting Security Background Investigations for little money and got the job done, out of patriotism, and loyalty, but now we have those that are greedy, incompetent running our country’s security, like OPM FISD who has over 90% of the Security Background Investigative duties and can’t get it done – we deserve everything we get, if this country and those in our government don’t wakeup NOW.

Otherwise it sounds like OPM can’t provide the service the agency requires.

In addition to the use of commercial computer database seaches as a substitute for some interviews and records checks conducted by field investigators as mentioned by Admin (above), there are ways computer programs can adjudicate relatively clean investigative reports (eAdjudicate) thereby speeding up the process for about 20% of all clearances. Another area for improvement through automation is the transfer of data from investigative agencies to field investigators. This is currently done by mail. Investigators are always carry around 15 to 35 paper case files with them and only use computers to write up their reports and transmit them to their headquarters. If they were issued Convertible Tablet Computers with touch screens (the type of computer used by field personnel in other industries–insurance estimators/adjustors, building contractors/inspectors/appraisers, etc.) and the system was properly automated, all case data could be downloaded to their computers, eliminating the need to key in data that already exists in the case file. It would pretty much allow them to go paperless and manage their cases on a computer. They could take investigative notes directly on the computer screen, eliminating the need to rewrite notes into investigative reports.

Under the Privacy Act you are entitled to obtain just about any unclassified information the government has on you. Recommend you contact the agencies that did your investigations and granted your clearances and request a copy of whatever they have on you.

Can you help me find out why?
