Mission
Provide an unbiased and accurate assessment of wing readiness, compliance, and discipline to the 31 FW/CC by facilitating external inspections, leading risk-based internal inspections and exercises, and managing the Complaints Resolution and Fraud, Waste, and Abuse programs.

Vision
A culture of full disclosure regarding non-compliance, accepting or mitigating risk at the appropriate level, and every Airman a sensor working to continuously improve unit processes to more effectively execute the 31 FW mission.

The 31st Fighter Wing Inspector General Complaints Resolution Program is a leadership tool that indicates where commander involvement is needed to correct systemic, programmatic, or procedural weaknesses and ensures resources are used effectively and efficiently. The CRP resolves issues affecting Airmen and the mission promptly and objectively by creating an atmosphere of trust in which issues can be objectively and fully resolved without retaliation or the fear of reprisal. Inspectors General are the "eyes and ears" of the commander and function as ombudsmen, fact finders and honest brokers in the resolution of complaints.

Who may file an IG Complaint?
Anybody may file an IG Complaint. If you have a concern and are unsure if you should file a complaint, contact your local IG office for guidance.

What types of complaints are appropriate?
Fraud, Waste and Abuse (FWA) or gross mismanagement; a violation of law, policy, procedures, instructions, or regulations; an injustice; abuse of authority, inappropriate conduct, or misconduct (as defined in Air Force Instruction 90-301); and a deficiency or like condition. The IG CRP should not be used for matters normally addressed through other established grievance or appeal channels, unless there is evidence those channels mishandled the matter or process. If a policy directive or instruction provides a specific means of redress or appeal of a grievance, complainants must exhaust those procedures before filing an IG complaint. Complainants must provide relevant evidence that the process was mishandled or handled prejudicially before the IG will process a complaint of mishandling. Mere dissatisfaction or disagreement with the outcome or findings of an alternative grievance or appeal process is not a sufficient basis to warrant an IG investigation. If you are unsure of whether your concern warrants filing an IG complaint, please contact your local IG office for guidance.

How can I submit a complaint?
Submit an AF Form 102 to the IG office.
