City and County of Broomfield Employee Fraud Hotline Service
To all City and County of Broomfield employees,
The City and County of Broomfield (“CCOB”) prides itself on having a productive and proactive work force. A key strategy for achieving that objective is the assurance that our workplace is also safe, secure and ethical. Each of us, regardless of position, shares a responsibility to promote and protect our positive work culture.
One way we can do that is by feeling empowered to report any behavior you believe constitutes fraud. Ideally, you should report your concerns to your direct manager, or other members of management. I recognize, however, that there may be occasions when you are not comfortable reporting issues in this manner. For those situations, the CCOB has contracted with Red Flag Reporting to create the CCOB Employee Fraud Hotline. The hotline is intended for internal employee use only, and you have the option to report your concerns anonymously, if you wish. You may report concerns 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Instructions on how to report a concern are reflected below.
I sincerely want you to report issues that concern you. You know what is going on in our organization. You may have knowledge of an activity that concerns you, but you’re not sure it should be reported. Sharing your concerns early can minimize the potential negative impact on the organization and our people. Please be as thorough and candid as possible and provide enough information for a follow-up review because sufficient information is necessary to adequately research an allegation. A confidential dialogue (facilitated by Red Flag Reporting to ensure anonymity) is an option.
The CCOB Employee Fraud Hotline should be used for the following matters:
| Theft | Procurement policy violations |
| Accounting or internal control issues | False claims for payment or approval |
| Bribes, kickbacks | False contracts, reports or other records |
| Embezzlement | Inappropriate use of CCOB credit cards |
| Misuse of CCOB resources (e.g. services, phones, equipment, vehicles, etc.) | |
There are certain issues that should continue to be reported through your Supervisor/Manager or to the Human Resources Department. The CCOB Employee Fraud Hotline should not be used for the following matters:
| Offensive or inappropriate behavior | Workplace conflict |
| Substance abuse violations | Workplace harassment |
| Sexual harassment | Workplace violence |
| Conflicts of Interest | Abuse of work hours and false timecards |
| Immediate threats to life or property should be directed to 911 | |
Kind Regards,
Jennifer Hoffman, City and County Manager
