CAP-USAF IG Reported Civil Air Patrol Abuses
2017/2005 – “I discovered some of the civilians in charge of the CAP were very powerful politically… [and] It finally came to me why the Wing Commander, a CAP colonel who was an obscure air force reserve captain, had a mobilization assignment in Washington D.C. He was the senator’s “number one boy” who was buying votes for the senator with the misappropriated air force property. I contacted my commander and explained the situation to him… the senator was too powerful… I left with political thieves openly stealing from the air force.” – Lt Col Allan T. Stein courtesy of TexGadget

CAP Pilot Intentionally Crashed Plane into Anchorage Building
June 20, 2016 – The FBI’s assessment that this Alaska Wing Civil Air Patrol aviation suicide event was not a national security threat misses an important opportunity. In reality, the CAP is a soft, incompetent underbelly that allows current threats access to higher levels. Staci Feger-Pellessier, a spokeswoman for the Anchorage office of the FBI, announced the Bureau’s findings in a short release Monday. Feger-Pellessier wrote. “Our investigation determined there was no threat to national security and this was an isolated incident.” More accurately, Civil Air Patrol members have impersonated Air Force Officers in the past and at least one Civil Air Patrol Major stole firearms and ammunition from a military installation.

Civil Air Patrol National Headquarters Raided by FBI
July 22, 1999 – The FBI and OSI investigation began shortly after the Air Force’s internal auditors reported widespread financial abuses at the Civil Air Patrol, a civilian volunteer group that serves as an Air Force auxiliary and receives about $28 million annually in federal funds.
