Anonymous Complaints: Employees and citizens may file complaints anonymously, either verbally or in writing. The Inspector General or assigned Investigator will determine whether sufficient information is available to proceed. Please note, however, that cases may be weakened if the complainant is unwilling to participate in follow-up hearings after an investigation.
Identified Complaints: Unless a complainant wishes to remain anonymous, they must provide sufficient information to confirm their identity, including their name, address, and telephone number.
Employee Complaints: Employees may also report wrongdoing to a supervisor, who will forward the matter to the IG in accordance with this directive. Any complaint received by a City department will be referred to the Department of Inspector General for further action.
Follow-Up: The Department of Inspector General will contact complainants as soon as possible after a complaint has been reviewed and processed.
