2. Tell us what happened
Bring any documentation about your complaint to the scheduled interview. We'll ask you questions about what happened.
3. Hear back from us
We will send a letter of concern or a formal complaint to the department, agency, or commission your complaint is about. They must respond in writing.
Then we will contact you about mediation.
4. Participate in mediation
If mediation is successful and both parties reach an agreement, we will close the case.
If mediation doesn't work, we may conduct a formal investigation. We may issue a Director’s Finding of Non-Compliance with the Sanctuary City Ordinance based on evidence from the investigation.
We will send the Director's Finding to the Board of Supervisors and the Mayor’s Office.
You can report without giving your name. But if you don’t give us your name, we can't ask you questions or tell you what happens.
