Sonoma County employees, vendors and the public will soon have a way to anonymously report instances of fraud, waste or abuse in county government.

The Board of Supervisors has approved a proposal from the county's auditor-controller-treasurer-tax collector that creates multiple ways to make anonymous reports.

Whistleblowers can go online at https://integritycounts.ca/org/countyofsonoma, send an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., or call (800) 916-8745 (for the public and vendors) or (800) 921-6840 (for county employees).

"The County of Sonoma is committed to accountability, transparency, fairness, and the prudent use of public funds," said Erick Roeser, Sonoma County auditor-controller-treasurer-tax collector. "One of my goals is to foster and maintain a work environment based on the principle of financial integrity and the whistleblower hotline is an important tool in achieving this goal."
