My only reporting experience with them was within the DOD, and I found them to be both professional and thorough.
It certainly helped that I had my entire operational command’s support prior to initiating my complaint, had diligently followed chain of command, and thus was not considered a “whistle blower”.
Fast forward 30 some years, and it appears the civilian IG is less ....respected or trusted to do their job.
But I will openly admit that I am extremely biased, because I don't trust any civilian government entity at the Federal level to act ethically and IAW laws.
That many of the citizenry is only now finally opening their eyes to the depth and breadth of corruption is not exactly comforting.
I couldn’t agree more.
Sadly our government now has way to many people that lack honesty and integrity. Many years ago there were those types but it has exploded into tragic numbers.
