        Policies

        City of Salida Fraud Policy

        What is a Fraud Policy?
        First, it makes a statement that the City of Salida recognizes that illegal or improper actions could occur and have a detrimental effect on the City. It's happened other places and it could happen here. Second, it encourages people to report any good-faith suspicions of fraud, abuse or misuse of City property and lets people know the City has a process to investigate such reports.

        Does Salida need a fraud policy?
        We believe it is better to be prepared to handle an incident before a problem arises and that if a policy is in place individuals will be more likely to report abuses.

        We hope that the Fraud Detection and Prevention Policy will raise the awareness of employees, elected officials and citizens to possibly improprieties and that it will strengthen the public's confidence in the integrity of city government.
