Does the Office of Executive Inspector General handle all of the complaints it receives?
No. If, for example, the complaint relates to another State Constitutional office, such as a complaint concerning an employee of the Secretary of State or Attorney General, the complaint is referred to the Executive Inspector General with jurisdiction for that agency. There are other circumstances under which the Office of Executive Inspector General declines to investigate complaints. For example, prisoner and prisoner-related complaints are referred to the Department of Corrections, which has procedures for the administration of these matters. Any such complaints received by the OEIG will be returned to the complainant with the original documents. In other instances, certain complaints received by the Office of Executive Inspector General are referred to appropriate resources such as the Inspectors General for the Department of Children and Family Services, Department of Human Services, or the Toll Highway Authority. Each of those independent investigatory entities has unique skills
