This book is an in-depth look at the experiences of the former head
of the Pentagon's Office of Inspector General-the most expansive IG
organization in the world-from 2002-2005. The Handbook is designed
not only for teaching and training professionals assigned to
Offices of Inspector General throughout the US federal and state
governments, but also for the benefit of government and corporate
leaders who will need, sooner or later, to deal intelligently with
an IG. "Important reading for every inspector general."-DONALD
RUMSFELD Secretary of Defense of the United States, 1975-1977 and
2001-2006 "Nobody knows the history, traditions, and functions of
an Inspector General better than Joe Schmitz. The Inspector General
Handbook is a practical guide for anyone working within an IG
office who wants to serve in a constitutionally sound role as part
of the leadership team. The IG in any organization should detect
organizational performance problems early, and should enable rapid
responses so that systemic problems can be addressed before they
spread further or cause irreversible damage. This first-ever IG
Handbook sheds light on an area of American government that is
often misunderstood, frequently maligned, and yet indispensable to
the functioning of our republic. This book is a 'must read' for all
government leaders and for every lawyer who needs to know by what
authority and for what purposes an Inspector General serves 'We the
People' of these United States." -JOHN ASHCROFT former U.S. Senator
and Attorney General of the United States, 2001-2005 "The office of
Inspector General can seem highly problematic, located within each
executive department but reporting not only to the head of the
department but also to Congress and, through Congress, to the
public. Schmitz carefully examines the nature of the institution,
and demystifies it while at the same time promoting respect for it.
The Inspector General Handbook is a work of lasting value."
-MICHAEL B. MUKASEY Attorney General of the United States,
2007-2009, and U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of New
York, 1988- 2006 "Joe Schmitz' Handbook delivers a previously
missing link in the understanding of post-9/11 law enforcement
professionals who take an oath to support and defend the
Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and
domestic. Of all public sector professionals, Inspectors General
should be transparent; the American People ought never to wonder
why an IG does what he or she does. And with Joe's Inspector
General Handbook, that transparency is now achieved." -LOUIS J.
FREEH Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation, 1993-2001
