SERIES: 4523
TITLE: Complaint/investigations referrals case files
DATES: 1990-1995.
ARRANGEMENT: Numerical by case identifier.

DESCRIPTION: These case files document investigations of the Office of Liability Management. The Office of Liability Management acts as a clearing house for referrals of complaints and initiates and assists other state Human Services Divisions in investigating criminal and other types of violations. Child abuse complaints are exempt from this investigation process and instead fall under the authority of local law enforcement officials and Child Protective Services. In incidents involving the staff, patients, clients, or visitors to the institution, personnel from the State Hospital, State Training School, or Youth Corrections are responsible for investigations. The Office of Liability Management may be called to assist in these investigations. Information on Part I of the report includes the complainant's name, address, and telephone number; the person alleged to have committed the violation; a summary of the complaint or allegation, and the type of violation. Part II is completed by the investigator and includes the status of the inquiry, the date the investigation was completed, and the disposition of the case. The documents received by the Clearing House are duplicate copies of complaints. The original complaints are kept in the Human Services agency where the investigation originated.
