CAPR 123-2 NOW AUTHORIZES THE FILING OF ANONYMOUS COMPLAINTS 

From the Inspector General Ohio Wing, Civil Air Patrol

CAPR 123-2 NOW AUTHORIZES THE FILING OF ANONYMOUS COMPLAINTS
Although CAPR 123-2 provides that all complaints should be in writing, dated and signed by the complainant, and that E-Mail and telephone complaints require a written follow up within 8 days, CAPR 123-2 now authorizes anonymous complaints.

CAPR 123-2 7b. Now reads as follows:
b. "You may file a complaint anonymously: however, you should be aware that you will not receive a reply from the Inspector General. However, whether filed anonymously or not, all complaints will receive the same level of attention. If you choose to file anonymously be sure to provide all known facts, i.e., subject's name, unit, position and concise facts of the allegation(s). This information is critical for a thorough investigation as the Investigating Officer will have no way to contact you for "additional information."

Nevertheless, whether the complaint is written, with the complainant identified, or filed anonymously, before filing a complaint the complainant should attempt to solve the problem by referring it to the unit commander, the legal officer, or the chaplain. Thus, there should be an attempt to solve the problem at the lowest level possible.

Furthermore, whether the complaint is anonymous or not, the chain of command should be followed. Also copies of the complaint, or correspondence related to the complaint, shall not be sent to anyone not assigned as the Investigating Officer, unless specifically authorized to do so. This means that the complaint and all the communications concerning it are to be treated as confidential.

Remember that the Inspector General and any Investigating Officer work for the commander of the unit making the investigation. A report of the facts as determined as a result of the investigation is provided to the unit commander without comment as to what action should be taken. It is then up to the unit commander to determine what action, if any, should be taken in the response to the information contained in the report.

William R. Hendrickson, Lt. Col., CAP Ohio Wing Inspector General
