Make command policy. Recommend adverse action. Go “off the record”. Release IG records w/out appropriate level of release authority. Guarantee confidentiality of Soldier. Conduct non IG functions. Inspector General What We Can’t Do:
Be sure you have a problem; and not a peeve. Give your chain of command a chance to solve the problem If IG assistance is needed, contact your local IG first. Before you tell it to theInspector General:
Keep in mind that IG are not policy makers. Keep in mind that IG can only recommend, not order resolution Remember IG can only resolve a case on the basis of fact Before you tell it to theInspector General:
Be honest; don’t provide misleading information. Don’t expect instant action on your request. Be patient. Be prepared to take “NO” for the answer. Before you tell it to theInspector General:
Reviewed contact information Reviewed IG mission statement and functions Reviewed IG “Can do, Don’t want to do, and Can’t do” Reviewed Assistance functions. Summary of the IG Briefing
