While the City is not aware of any instances of
suspected fraud, a fraud hotline is considered a best practice as it functions
as an effective prevention and detection program.
About the Fraud Hotline
The Fraud Hotline is designed for reporting suspected cases of fraud that has a financial impact on the City, including but not limited to theft, waste or abuse of city resources. Examples include:
· Theft of City property, such as inventory or supplies
· Using City property for personal use
· Accepting a bribe, kickback, or illegal gratuity
· Bid-fixing
Please note the hotline is not a substitute for employment-related grievances or appeals, as existing City policy and procedures provide channels for resolution of these issues.
