How do I report a compliant anonymously?

Reporting a compliant anonymously in Washington is possible, but you should be aware that there are certain rights and protections associated with whistleblowing that will not apply if you choose to remain anonymous. The most important protection is that you can’t be retaliated against for making the compliant. The best way to report a compliant anonymously is to contact an organization that is dedicated to the protection of whistleblowers. Such organizations can help you file a compliant anonymously and can provide you with the resources and expertise necessary to protect your identity. You also have the option of contacting a lawyer specializing in whistleblowing law. A lawyer can provide you with legal counsel, help you make a compliant anonymously, and advise you on the best way to proceed. Finally, you can make a complaint directly to the government, such as the U.S. Department of Justice, without revealing your identity. The department can then investigate the compliant without revealing your identity. No matter how you report your compliant, it is important to be aware that there are certain risks associated with whistleblowing and that certain protections may be unavailable to you if you choose to remain anonymous.
