Office of the Inspector General

Council Appoints Thomas Dagley as New Inspector General

Who We Are
In 1997, the County Council for Montgomery County passed legislation to create the Inspector General’s Office to serve as a watchdog to detect and prevent fraud, waste, and abuse in County government operations.

The specific goals, authority, and duties of the Office are found in Montgomery County Code, §2-151.

What We Do
Although appointed by the County Council, the IG is solely responsible for choosing topics for review after carefully considering available resources and the mission of the Office.

The mission is stated in three goals set forth in the enabling legislation.

Our Mission:

Prevent and detect fraud, waste, and abuse in government activities
Propose ways to increase the legal, fiscal, and ethical accountability of County government departments and County-funded agencies
Review efficiency and effectiveness of programs and operation of County government and independent County-funded agencies

Newly appointed Inspector General Thomas Dagley has over 30 years experience as an investigator and auditor at both the federal and state levels of government. He serves on the Board of Examiners, Baldrige National Quality Award, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, Maryland.

In carrying out the mission, the IG team produces a number of confidential and public documents. Public documents include the IG work plan, results of audits and investigations, and periodic status reports to the County Council. Many of these documents are available here for Web viewing in HTML format, or for viewing and printing in PDF format.
