The office investigates municipal waste, abuse and corruption. Some of its findings are major, such as his office telling police earlier this year to clean up their act on the issue of “wrong warrants” the kind that led to the botched raid at the home of social worker Anjanette Young.
Or that the Chicago Fire Department’s anti-discrimination policies and training lack the rigor needed “to meet the environmental challenges posed by a command control emergency service operation like CFD,” according to an April report from the inspector general’s office.
