IG Mission Statement
MISSION STATEMENT
The purpose of the Civil Air Patrol Inspector General System is, in part, to create an independent and objective system that:
1. Resolves problems affecting the Civil Air Patrol mission promptly and objectively.
2. Creates an atmosphere of trust in which issues can be objectively and fully resolved without retaliation or the fear of reprisal.
3. Ensures the existence of responsive complaint and inspection programs characterized by objectivity, integrity, and impartiality.
4. Ensures the concerns of Civil Air Patrol members and the best interests of the Civil Air Patrol are addressed through objective fact-finding.
5. Educates Civil Air Patrol members and commanders regarding the privileges of and protection for those contacting an inspector general.
6. Ensures inspectors general, inspector general staff members, and investigating officers are trained to conduct thorough, unbiased investigations and inspections based on fair and objective fact-finding.
Currently the COVID-19 IG Travel guidance from NHQCAP recommends remote inspections as the primary means of conducting SUIs & CIs.

Subordinate Unit Inspection (SUI) Updates
To help everyone involved in the SUI process informed and on the same page we will be providing addition guidance below:
- Squadrons no longer need their own PAO plan, but they do need the Wing PAO/Crisis Plan available for the SUI. (Effective December 2020)
- File Plans are no longer being inspected (effective 09 March 2021)
- As a reminder to Squadrons – even though the SUI Worksheets no longer ask the question – Squadron Commanders may not be appointed as Testing Officers.
The CI Professional Development Worksheet Question 6 asks: Does the wing ensure subordinate commanders are not appointed as Testing Officers (though they may be appointed as assistant TOs)?
- There are currently no auditing tools in place to prevent the Commander from assuming the role of Primary Testing Officer
