What can you expect when you contact the Hotline?

• A thorough review of your contact by an investigator, who may contact you to obtain additional information to ensure an understanding of the facts and circumstances related to your concerns.  For efficient processing of your contact, you should strive to provide key information in your initial submission (i.e. who, what, when, where, why).
• Your contact will be evaluated to determine if it is an appropriate matter for our office to address or if further inquiry is warranted.
• Your contact will be handled with confidentiality and you may remain anonymous. 
• An investigator will communicate how your contact was ultimately handled, and they will provide you with the necessary information if we determine there is another, more appropriate avenue of redress for your concerns.
