Welcome to the

OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

 
The mission of the Office of Inspector General (OIG) is to promote constitutional policing and the fair and impartial administration of justice.


  The Office of Inspector General was created by ordinance in 2014 . The OIG's scope includes matters relevant to the policies, procedures, practices, and operations of the Sheriff's and Probation departments. The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors created the Office of Inspector General as part of the Board of Supervisors' duty to supervise the official conduct of County officers under Government Code section 25303. The Inspector General reports directly to the Board of Supervisors and makes regular reports to the Board on the departments' operations. The Office of Inspector General's reports to the Board of Supervisors are public reports.

In January of 2016, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted to implement the Sheriff Civilian Oversight Commission. The commissioners of this historic body are drawn from many disciplines, faiths, and backgrounds. They meet together monthly to hear public input and make recommendations to the Sheriff and the Board of Supervisors on critical issues. The Office of Inspector General is honored to work closely with the commission. We invite you to visit their website here and to come to their monthly meetings!
