Inspector General Law & Legal Definition

The office of Inspector General varies from state to state, but generally the Inspector General is responsible for investigating the management and operation of state agencies in order to determine whether wrongful acts and omissions have been committed or are being committed by state officers or state employees. The investigation may be as a result of the Inspector General's own initiative or complaints from other parties. After the investigation, typically a report is prepared and suggestions are made for how to handle any disciplinary issues and prevent future wrongdoing.
