MESSAGE
FROM THE INSPECTOR GENERAL
WELCOME to the
official Internet site of the Miami-Dade County Office of the Inspector
General. This site includes many of our published investigative
reports, information about our office, and our annual reports. Note
the REPORT FRAUD button to report complaints confidentially. This
site also links to other governmental agencies that may be of service
to you.
This site provides
you information about our staff, what we do, our history, and the
jurisdiction of the Inspector General. Our office is quite unique
when compared with other inspectors general offices. Your Miami-Dade
Board of County Commissioners took great lengths to insure that
the Inspector General is autonomous and independent – insulated
from any political influences. To help restore public trust in County
government the Board of County Commissioners empowered the Inspector
General to investigate fraud, waste, and abuse within your County’s
programs and projects, to randomly audit County contracts and programs,
and to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of such programs.
The vast majority
of County officials, employees, vendors and contractors are honest,
hard-working and beyond reproach. Nevertheless, we must continue
to stay vigilant to insure that, in the final analysis, our taxpayers
get a fair and honest accounting of their funds.
Yours truly,
Christopher Mazzella
Inspector General
