No. The OIG is not a law enforcement agency. As such, our agents do not have the authority to arrest individuals. The OIG, however, is a criminal justice agency as determined by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The OIG works in conjunction with law enforcement agencies, the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office, and the United States Attorney’s Office with respect to pursuing criminal investigations.
