How was the OIG Formed?

0

The Office of the Inspector General was created by County ordinance and it empowered the OIG to investigate and review allegations of waste, fraud, abuse and mismanagement. The Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners determined that the oversight of such a large and diverse government required the organization and administration of the OIG to be independent and autonomous, to assure that no interference or influence external to the Office adversely affects the independence and objectivity of the Inspector General. Under the amendment to the ordinance approved by the Board of County Commissioners in March 2005, the Inspector General serves a four-year term and future Inspectors General will be selected by a committee comprised of the State Attorney, Public Defender, Ethics Commission Chairperson, President of the Police Chiefs Association and the Regional Director for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
