About & Contact

InspectorGeneral.net is an independent public reference project documenting the history, structure, and statutory development of federal Offices of Inspector General.

The site emphasizes source-based profiles, transparent methods, and plain-language explanations of how OIGs fit within the federal oversight system.

“There is nothing new in the world except the history you do not know.”

Harry S. Truman, 1952

What this site is for

This site is meant to make the federal Inspector General system easier to inspect: when offices were created, how they fit into the IG Act framework, whether they have law-enforcement authority, how they should be counted, and where historical details remain complicated or uncertain.

This site is not an official resource of CIGIE, any federal Office of Inspector General, or any government institution. It is maintained independently and should be checked against primary sources before citation or reliance.

InspectorGeneral.net is maintained by a small, dedicated research team. Attribution is kept at the project level, with sources, methods notes, and changelog entries used to document the work.
