Quarterly Report: Second Quarter 2025

July 15, 2025

Summary

This quarterly report provides an overview of the operations of the City of Chicago Office of Inspector General (OIG) from April 1, 2025, through June 30, 2025, and includes information required by the Municipal Code of Chicago (MCC).

Executive Summary

OIG’s mission is to promote economy, effectiveness, efficiency, and integrity in the administration of programs and the operation of City government. OIG accomplishes its mission through investigations of allegations of misconduct, performance audits, evaluations and reviews, data analysis and visualization, and other inquiries.

When OIG investigates and sustains allegations of misconduct, it issues summary reports of investigations to the appropriate authority, City management officials, and/or the Mayor’s Office, with investigative findings and recommendations for corrective action and discipline. Narrative summaries of sustained administrative investigations, i.e., those typically involving violations of the City’s Personnel Rules, Debarment Rules, and Ethics Ordinance–and the resulting department or agency actions–are released in quarterly reports. OIG’s investigations resulting in criminal sanctions or civil recovery actions are summarized in quarterly reports following public action (e.g., indictment) and updated in ensuing quarterly reports as court developments warrant.
