Squad 9/SCA
Squad 9 is the Inspector General for the New York City School Construction Authority (SCA) and has a dual report to both the DOI Commissioner and the SCA President and CEO. The mission of SCA is to design and construct safe, attractive, and environmentally sound public schools for children throughout the many communities of New York City. Squad 9 investigations have led to the guilty plea of a construction company executive for defrauding SCA by allegedly failing to pay workers the prevailing wage on public works projects; the guilty plea of a Queens businessman for bilking his workers of more than $1.5 million in wages; and a jail sentence for a project foreman who pled guilty to stealing more than $1 million in wages from workers and bribing a New York School Construction Authority investigator.
