Reported to the state by the program
Serious injury, valid issues and self-report are Washington’s own fields on its complaint listing.
Shortlist replaces people’s names in the state’s text with initials. This is done by rule, not by hand, so it can miss a name or shorten a word that isn’t one. The state’s report, linked on each row, has the original.
