An inspector general is an investigative official in a civil or military organization. The plural of the term is "inspectors general".
In some countries, inspector general is also a formal rank or title in civil, police, or military services, where it refers to a senior officer rather than an investigative position. The duties and authority of the role vary by country and organization.
