Eric W. Miller

Senior Advisor

Mr. Miller serves as Senior Advisor to The Integrity Group in all areas of service provided to our clients, especially in the area of compliance assurance. He is a certified financial crimes investigator, certified crisis manager, certified equal employment and discrimination investigator, and certified inspector general.

He entered public service in January 1982 as a uniformed police officer and subsequently served in several key roles, including Major Crimes Control Division investigator, drug enforcement detective, police field trainer, and academy instructor.

In 1993, Miller began his service to the State of Florida as an inspector for the Office of Internal Investigations of the Florida Department of Natural Resources. When his unit was merged with the newly created Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s (DEP) Office of Inspector General, Miller served as a lieutenant with that office until being appointed to command that same unit. As the Chief of Investigations for DEP’s Office of Inspector General, Miller directed and coordinated investigations into both governmental and corporate corruption, official misconduct, and financial crimes, investigating both criminal and administrative violations. In this role, Miller participated in and led investigations into the criminal misconduct of sworn officers, culminating in Miller’s appointment to a leadership role in the Florida Marine Patrol as its assistant director of operations.

In 2001, Miller assumed a leadership role at the Florida Department of Insurance, directing the operations of the Bureau of Fire and Arson Investigations for the State Fire Marshal. In 2004, Miller was asked by Florida’s first Chief Financial Officer to serve as the Director of the Division of Insurance Fraud, the criminal justice agency responsible for the investigation of insurance fraud, title fraud, insurance related crimes, and other financial crimes in the State of Florida. Miller served in that role until 2007 when he was tapped to lead the Divisions of State Fire Marshal, Insurance Fraud, and Worker Compensation as the Deputy Chief Financial Officer (CFO) for Compliance and Enforcement.

After serving as the Deputy CFO, Miller was hired to create the Office of Corporate Compliance for Citizens Property Insurance Corporation, the state’s legislatively created insurer of last resort. In that role he built a comprehensive compliance assurance program that is still underway at the Corporation.

After serving as Citizens’ director of Corporate Compliance, Miller accepted an appointment as Inspector General for the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA), overseeing the integrity assurance program for the state’s $24 billion Medicaid program. After serving as the IG for AHCA for over 5 years, Miller accepted an appointment as the Chief Inspector General for the State of Florida. In this role, Miller served as the inspector general for the Executive Office of the Governor, providing direction and guidance to the inspectors general posted in all the state agencies. In this critical position, Miller reported directly to Governor Scott.

In addition to his prior work experience, Miller has been awarded the Bronze Cross for Meritorious Police Service and as a young officer was named Outstanding Young Law Enforcement Officer of the Year. He taught at four police academies in Florida, served as a guest lecturer at Florida State University, and participated in the drafting of a whitepaper on government retrenchment at the invitation of Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government.
