Daniel P. Meyer
Daniel P. Meyer (born 1965) is the former director for whistleblowing and transparency (DW&T) to the Inspector General of the Defense Department.〔Marie Gilbert, "Hagerstown man one of 34 finalists for the 2011 Samuel J. Heyman Service to America Medals", ''Herald-Mail'' (Hagerstown, Maryland)(Aug. 27, 2011) at (1 ).〕
As Director DW&T, Meyer's role was to promulgate a whistleblower protection program and provide leadership for investigations implementing and ensuring accountability in the protection of employees, military and civilian, as well as contractors who disclose violations of law, rule and/or regulation. The DW&T also coordinated office policy on Qui Tam and False Claims Act litigation. From January 2004 to September 2010, Meyer was a federal supervisory investigator specializing in the protection of sources providing information regarding wrongdoing, also known as "whistleblowers." Formerly as the Director, Civilian Reprisal Investigations (DCRI), Mr. Meyer led a directorate composed of two investigative teams: the National Security Reprisal Team (NSRT) and the Procurement Fraud Reprisal Team (PFRT). In the spring of 2010, he was announced as a finalist for the Samuel J. Heyman Service to America Medal, National Security and International Affairs category.〔Partnership for Public Service, Dan Meyer & Team: 2011 Finalist—National Security and International Affairs Medal (June 13, (2011 )).〕
==Expertise==
As the DCRI, Mr. Meyer investigated whistleblower reprisal complaints filed by DoD civilians pursuant to Section 7, Inspector General Act of 1978. Created in 2004 to augment the primary jurisdiction of the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, CRI investigates reprisal against whistleblowers who are civilian appropriated-fund employees of the U.S. Department of Defense, including Defense agencies and Military Service civilian employees engaged in intelligence and counter-intelligence activities. Since 2004, CRI has investigated reprisal against whistleblowers on the C-130J, RC-135, F-18 and other avionics platforms, the former U.S. Army program known as "Able Danger", the integrity of ground intelligence data, and other matters. CRI is known for its role in developing a means for reviewing security clearance decision-making and investigations alleged to be a pretext for reprisal. Meyer's directorate also investigate the activities of John C. Metzler, Jr.'s staff in the actions toward a whistleblower at Arlington National Cemetery. The investigation became a small contribution in the uncovering of the Arlington National Cemetery mismanagement controversy.
Mr. Meyer has been a consistent critic of pro-management judicial and administrative interpretations of the Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989, noting their corrosive effect on the intent of the United States Congress in passing the Act.〔Congressional Record - Senate (Oct. 12, 2000) at (22583. )〕 In his role as Director of DW&T and CRI, Mr. Meyer has been described as " . . . pretty fearless. He has the knowledge and technical acumen to determine what is right.".〔Marie Gilbert, "Hagerstown man one of 34 finalists for the 2011 Samuel J. Heyman Service to America Medals", ''Herald-Mail'' (Hagerstown, Maryland)(Aug. 27, 2011) at (1 )(citing David Ingram, a project manager at the Office of the Deputy Inspector General for Intelligence).〕 In 2001, Meyer cautioned whistleblowers that despite the fact that the Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989 ". . . says that federal workers should be protected, not punished . . . whistleblowing remains an often risky and difficult path . . . ."〔Marie Gilbert, ''Herald-Mail'' (Hagerstown, Maryland)(Aug. 27, 2011) at (1 ).〕 Dan Meyer is credited within overcoming some senior leadership reticence to protecting whistleblowers within the intelligence and counterintelligence communities.〔Marie Gilbert, "Hagerstown man one of 34 finalists for the 2011 Samuel J. Heyman Service to America Medals", ''Herald-Mail'' (Hagerstown, Maryland)(Aug. 27, 2011) at (1 )(citing Jeff Ruch, Executive Director of Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility).〕 When addressing whistleblower issues, Mr. Meyer focuses on the fact that whistleblowing plays "an important role in improving government performance and accountability."〔Marie Gilbert, ''Herald-Mail'' (Hagerstown, Maryland)(Aug. 27, 2011) at (1 ).〕 He considers whistleblowing to be " . . . all about transparency. We shouldn't run from letting the people know what we federal employees are doing. In fact, if we had more transparency, we would have fewer problems. More government transparency allows more senior executive and congressional oversight; and oversight allows for the correction of government failures."〔Marie Gilbert, "Hagerstown man one of 34 finalists for the 2011 Samuel J. Heyman Service to America Medals", ''Herald-Mail'' (Hagerstown, Maryland)(Aug. 27, 2011) at (1 ).〕 When describing the Inspector General's reprisal investigations, Mr. Meyer stated, "We just call them as they are. I have no concerns at all for protecting the wrongdoer. At the end of the day, the business of government is the people's business, not the wrongdoer's business."〔Marie Gilbert, ''Herald-Mail'' (Hagerstown, Maryland)(Aug. 27, 2011) at (1 ).〕
