Office Of Inspector General

The mission of the Office of Inspector General (OIG) is to promote transparency, constitutional policing, and the fair and impartial administration of justice. As part of the Board of Supervisors' duty to supervise the official conduct of County officers under Government Code section 25303, the OIG was created by ordinance 6.44.190 to facilitate the Board of Supervisors' responsibility. The OIG shall provide, within its scope of authority, independent, and comprehensive oversight, monitoring of, and reporting about the Departments; the County's custody or detention facilities; and the departments, contractors, and employees involved with the Departments. The OIG serves as the investigative arm of the Los Angeles County Sheriff Civilian Oversight Commission and Probation Oversight Commission.
