Whistleblower Hotline Reports

Deschutes County’s Whistleblower Hotline is the secure, anonymous way to report fraud, waste, or abuse involving the County government, its employees, or vendors. When the Office of Internal Audit finds waste or abuse of position via the Hotline, it is required by law to notify the Board of County Commissioners. These reports, which are also delivered to the commissioners, serve as that notice. They are released publicly to inform about substantiated Hotline tips.
