The Office does not maintain an e-mail address. You may contact the Office by mail or by telephone. It is the Office's practice to maintain the names of complainants in confidence. You may provide information anonymously.
Public employees are subject to whistleblower protection .
Any employee who has authority to take, direct others to take, recommend, or approve any personnel action, shall not, with respect to such authority, take or threaten to take any action against any employees as a reprisal for making a complaint or disclosing information to the inspector general, unless the complaint was made or the information disclosed with the knowledge that it was false or with willful disregard for its truth or falsity. Because the Office conducts its work confidentially, complainants are not normally apprised of the progress of investigations or reviews and may not be informed about the disposition of an investigation or review. Records of the Office are not public records.
