Risk Management

Overview
The city's Risk Management Division seeks to establish and maintain internal fiscal and policy controls to avert risk to the organization and employees, including ensuring city assets are protected from loss, theft, and misuse and protecting employees from mistreatment.

  • Ensure that employees are adequately trained on workplace wrongdoing and the consequences thereof.
  • Ensure that employees learn the appropriate means for reporting an incident.
