Prince George’s County should create an inspector general, strengthen its ethics board and create a whistleblower hotline, an ethics task force says in its final report. The Accountability, Compliance and Integrity Advisory Board presented its final report to County Executive Rushern Baker and County Council Chairwoman Ingrid Turner on Monday.

The board recommended the county strengthen the Board of Ethics, which currently has no budget or staff; create a whistleblower hotline for county employees and contractors to report waste, fraud and abuse; and to ensure openness in all county government decisions.
