The independent investigative office is making it easier for county employees and members of the public to report suspected waste, fraud and abuse.
Monroe County Executive Adam Bello today announced that the county’s Office of Public Integrity (OPI) has a new website designed to increase transparency and make it easier for county employees and members of the public to report instances of suspected waste, fraud and abuse.
“Good government means safeguarding public resources and transparently rooting out instances of waste, fraud and abuse. Honest government is how you ensure public confidence in government,” said County Executive Bello. “The new Office of Public Integrity website makes it easier for whistleblowers to report allegations of wrongdoing by county employees and outside vendors and gives the public easy access to OPI’s investigative reports and audits.”
The Office of Public Integrity has independent authority to examine and investigate all county operations and report its findings to law enforcement when necessary. The office addresses concerns raised through the Whistleblower Hotline (585) 753-3105, online at MonroeCountyNY-OPI.gov and via email at [email protected]. Additionally, the office undertakes proactive risk assessments and provides recommendations to improve the county’s effectiveness, efficiency and accountability.
