Report an Incident

The Investigative Unit for the Clermont County Board of Developmental Disabilities manages the reporting and investigation of incidents that may pose a risk to the health and safety of individuals with developmental disabilities.
Investigations Department Contact
The Investigative Unit is located at the Thomas A. Wildey Center and manages incident information for all service providers, including County Board operated programs and services.
The MUI process is designed to:
  • Ensure individuals receive appropriate care and treatment
  • Ensure providers address individual needs thoroughly and proactively
  • Review both individual and agency system needs
About the MUI Process
Major Unusual Incidents (MUIs) are defined by the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities as occurrences that have the potential to pose a significant risk to the health and safety of individuals with developmental disabilities.
Investigative Agents are responsible for investigation, information gathering, review, and analysis of MUIs, and for ensuring appropriate corrective and preventive actions are taken.
Report an Incident

If this is an emergency and an individual is in immediate danger, please call 911.

If you have witnessed an incident involving an individual with a developmental disability, please FILL OUT THE FORM BELOW or CALL US IMMEDIATELY at 513 732 4828 (During business hours) or 513-319-0179 (After hours).

Actual or suspected incidents that adversely affect the health and welfare of an individual with a developmental disability can be reported 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Please complete as much of the form below as possible and provide as many details as you can. We will do our best to maintain your anonymity so please consider providing at least a phone number and/or email so we can follow up with additional questions or clarifications.
