ARE YOU CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR IDENTITY BEING REVEALED IF YOU FILE A COMPLAINT WITH

When you file a complaint with us, your personal information is kept confidential
and is not revealed to the dog owner. It is important for us to have your information
on file to give validity to the complaint and to assist our officers in effectively
dealing with your concerns.
The exception to this confidentiality is if there is court action as a result of
your complaint. In this case, the accused is entitled to full disclosure of the
file for the purpose of preparing his/her defence. Then your personal information
must be revealed along with the officer's notes and findings to the accused or his/her
