When you file your complaint over the phone or online you will be offered a report number and a four-digit PIN. If you set up the PIN, you will then be able to provide additional information, request a status update, submit documents and files, and communicate anonymously with the County's Whistleblower program. If you do not wish to set up a PIN please consider providing some form of contact information so that we can request additional information if needed.
