|
Background:
|
This item proposes the creation of a policy and related procedure that would enhance the reporting of theft, fraud, waste, abuse, and illegal or unethical behavior within the district.
The policy and procedure are being proposed in an effort to encourage the responsible use of taxpayer dollars and district resources by providing the means to report instances of theft, fraud, waste, abuse, and illegal or unethical behavior confidentially and anonymously.
MPS officials, chiefs, directors, and managers would be required to report such instances. Other district employees will be able to make such reports as well.
The policy further requires that employees be notified as to how they may report such activity, the steps involved in Audit Services' investigations, and records and reporting requirements.
This policy and procedure will align district practices to those of the City of Milwaukee (Employee Regulation 350-247) and Milwaukee County (Ordinance 34.095), both of which have similar requirements.
