How a tip travels: retain with discipline

The last of seven short articles following a tip through the whole life of a program: intake, dialogue, investigation, evidence, referrals, rewards, and retention.

Once submitted, a tip cannot be deleted on request: a reporter who could delete it is a reporter who could be forced to. At the end of a program’s retention period, the keys are destroyed, which makes the content unreadable in the live system.
