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 inspector general offices. Your Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners took great lengths to insure that the Inspector General is autonomous and independent. 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 R. Mazzella
Inspector General
