The Louisiana Department of Public Safety & Corrections - Corrections Services (DPS&C-CS) Fraud Tip Hotline is designed as a way for employees or the public to report suspected fraud, waste or misuse of State funds and assets. It is important to note that we encourage State employees to first report potential fraud, waste, or misuse of State funds and assets to management. However, if you are uncomfortable doing so, this Fraud Tip Hotline provides an alternative method to report your concerns. All information provided will be kept confidential.

Please provide as much detail as possible pertaining to the alleged incident, specific names, titles/positions, location of incident, dates and times that the incident occurred, and any documentation or evidence to support your tip. Each submission will be screened by the Internal Audit Division to determine if there is enough information to conduct an effective review of the allegations. Those submissions that pass the initial screening will be reviewed in more detail to determine next steps. Those submissions that fail the initial screening will be closed.

Examples of incidents that should be reported using the Fraud Tip Hotline:
~ Suspected theft or misuse of state property
~ Falsification of official state documents (i.e., timesheets, inventory)
~ Misuse of state funds or procurement cards
~ Improper billing or overcharging for goods or services
~ Financial conflicts of interest

Examples of incidents/complaints that WILL NOT be reviewed or investigated using the Fraud Tip Hotline:
~ DPS&C-CS inmate grievances, medical, alleged abuse, or inquiry of any kind
~ Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) allegations
~ General complaints involving DPS&C-CS staff or facilities
~ Adults under the supervision of Probation & Parole
~ Human Resources or personnel issues
~ Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) complaints (i.e., discrimination, harassment, retaliation)

NOTE: Concerns may be reported anonymously, or individuals may choose to include their name and contact information.


Thank you for your submission,
Jewell Freeman, Chief Audit Executive
Internal Audit Division
