To boil it down, a Wife lost her Husband and their 6 kids lost their Father, their hero. A Federal law enforcement officer seems to have lost his life under suspicious circumstances. A proper investigation into his death should be conducted, beginning with granting the family’s FOIA Request (Freedom of Information Act Request) and eventually this family can have long awaited answers and a factual understanding about the events and circumstances surrounding his untimely death. At which point, this Family could properly begin to heal.<br>
<br>
I hope your family gets the answers and accountability you deserve.
There has been a war on the truth for quite sometime. Senior leaders of every branch have sacrificed integrity for personal benefit, and it shows. It is time for DoD IG to be independent and external to DoD; just like “Lady Justice” the DoD IG should be blind (unbiased), and follow the truth no matter where it takes them.
The structure of the system defeats the reported purpose of the system. <br>
During my 20 year career, I have submitted two IG complaints. Nothing became of either of them, despite receiving a phone call from someone in the IGs office reaching out to tell me they agreed with me. He then added he would be unable to put that in writing or state it officially. <br>
Even when they want to take action, they’re afraid to, because of personal/professional risk.
If the intent of the IG is to resolve issues and make the organization better it is imperative that they are insulated from command influence. Just as our government has systems of checks and balances, so should should be the IG. It has been my experience with DoDIG and DAIG that they are more focused on making grievances go away, as opposed to resolving real issues. I would be interested to see the metrics of issues filed and what percentage actually resulted in a change in the organization.
