Callers are allowed to remain anonymous, but how will the anonymity of an accused person be protected?
A very limited number of managers have been selected in each department to receive reports relevant to their units. They are the staff who would normally investigate such reports regardless of the method through which the report was received, and they are accustom to researching such reports confidentially. This situation will be handled no differently from the current processes used to research claims that are reported to unit leadership. Although the anonymity of the accused may not be protected in every instance, all reports via the hotline are considered as allegations only, and require proper investigations until any factual statement can be made.
