 What can you expect when you submit a report

➢ You will receive a report number following your call. Make sure you write
down and keep the report number, as it is your link back to your case. With
this number, you can recall to upload related documents, update your report
statements, and check the status of your case. It is recommended that all
reports are checked within 2-3 business days after submission.

➢ If you choose to make a report without disclosing your identity, this may limit
our ability to take prompt and immediate action. This may also limit our
ability to conduct a full and complete investigation. If you do decide to
remain anonymous, please make sure to provide as much information as
possible in your report (who, what, when, where, why/how) to better assist
in the investigative process. You will be able and encouraged to check your
report within 2-3 business days for updates.

➢ In most cases, the details of an investigation are considered confidential in

nature and will not be shared. There are some scenarios, however, that
require disclosure of more detail. In either instance, a response will be
provided to you via e-mail.
