Where should I take complaints about the City?

Complaints should be directed to Reno Direct by calling 775-334-INFO (775-334-4636) or reporting an issue online. Because other City departments are not supervised by the City Attorney's Office, the City Attorney can typically address complaints only about its own employees.
