DOI is NYC's independent inspector general. It investigates fraud, corruption, and misconduct by city employees, contractors, and anyone who does business with the city. Think of it as internal affairs for all of city government. In a city that spends over $100 billion a year and employs 300,000 people, corruption opportunities are everywhere. DOI is the agency that catches crooked employees, fraudulent contractors, and officials abusing their power.
