If state agencies or employees are acting improperly, our team investigates them and develops reports so that they can be held accountable. Under the California Whistleblower Protection Act, we determine whether allegations of improper governmental activities are true and follow-up to make sure our recommendations for corrective action are implemented.
Join our team and be part of eliminating wrongdoing.

Shannan joined our team with years of investigative experience from three other state agencies, but she believes our investigations team is exciting and different. Unlike her previous agencies, Shannan's team investigates allegations from the public. Because these investigations stem from Californians, they are highly varied and interesting. For example, the investigations team examines claims that state employees violated the law or that program managers are making wasteful decisions.
"I have a close-knit team that is dedicated to our mission. Every day I get to do interesting work and interact with professionals who are finding and stopping misconduct to improve government."
