The division is committed to continuously attaining the highest standards in all of its operations and business practices.

The Network answers all calls and records the information necessary to initiate an investigation of the reported activity(ies). The Network representative will provide a case tracking number to the caller for tracking the status of the investigation. Calls can be anonymous, if desired.
