How to report illegal acts

First, the tip-off. Letter reporting, also known as letter reporting, is a way for informants to write written reporting materials and mail them to relevant departments. This is the most commonly used way for the masses to report. A well-written tip-off letter can provide many convenient conditions for the investigation of procuratorial organs and make the investigation work go smoothly. Second, the report box. The report box refers to the equipment specially designed for informants to deliver letters and written materials to report and accuse illegal crimes. The report box is an effective measure to open the way, facilitate and encourage the masses to crack down on all kinds of duty crimes such as corruption, bribery, dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty that do not take advantage of national development and long-term stability. Commission for Discipline Inspection, Ministry of Supervision and many other institutions have report boxes all over the country. The report box is opened regularly by a special person, and the reported cases are opened, registered, handled and reported in time. Third, the supervision department of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection reported the phone number. In order to give full play to the supervisory role of the masses in the selection and appointment of cadres, the Central Organization Department opened a special hotline "12380" in 2004, a website "12380" in 2009 and a short message "12380" in 2006. After 10 years' efforts, "12380" has developed from a single reporting telephone to a comprehensive reporting platform integrating letters, telephones, internet and short messages, opening up "four windows" for listening to people's voices.
