If a Complaint is Made Against Me, But There is No Action, No Discipline, and Not Even a Letter of Concern, Does This Complaint Stay on My Record?
- If the complaint is determined by a Board vote to be unfounded pursuant to law (New Hampshire Revised Statutes Annotated 329:17, XIII), the Board may destroy all information collected during the investigation after three years. The Board will retain a record only that an investigation was conducted, and the Board determined the complaint to be unfounded.
- If the complaint is legitimate, but the Board deemed that no further action was necessary (i.e., the Board had voted to take No Further Action or issue a Letter of Concern), then the information and the Report of Investigation are kept indefinitely by the Board and may be reviewed and used at a later date if further complaints are received.
