New Toll-Free Public Corruption/Government Fraud Hotline Helps Citizens Halt Wrongdoing by Public Officials and Private Contractors

SACRAMENTO, CA—Citizens of the 34 counties within the Sacramento FBI’s area of responsibility can now call a toll-free number to report public corruption and government fraud. Public corruption includes bribery, extortion, embezzlement, racketeering, kickbacks, and money laundering, as well as wire, mail, bank, and tax fraud. Anyone with information about such activities is urged to call the following toll-free number:

855-4-NO-PCGF
855-466-7243
(855 for no public corruption/government fraud)

Public corruption remains a top criminal priority for the FBI. While the vast majority of public officials remain committed to the communities they serve, an extremely small minority of individuals usurp their public positions for personal or private gain. The FBI, along with our law enforcement partners, remains dedicated to ensuring this behavior is fully investigated and, if necessary, prosecuted under the law.

Callers are asked to leave their name, telephone number, and a brief description of their concerns and observations on the voice-mail line. Agents will review voice-mail daily and contact individuals for follow-up as needed.

The FBI’s Sacramento Division serves the following counties:
