Office of Investigative Services (OIS)

The Office of Investigative Services (OIS) employs a staff of 16 P.O.S.T. certified law enforcement officers, an office
manager, three investigative assistants, and three additional clerical personnel who focus on the investigation of
allegations of driver’s license fraud and misconduct by the DDS’ employees. They also conduct background checks on
applicants for employment and customers seeking credentials in some programs regulated by the DDS.
As depicted in the graph below, the DDS continues its fight to ensure the security and integrity of Georgia’s license issuance
process. Our investigators collaborate with federal, state and local law enforcement agencies in the interdiction of crimes
relating to identity theft, fraud, forgery, and other crimes. These efforts included over 11,100 instances in which the DDS
provided information to outside law enforcement agencies to further their investigations.
