Compliance Officer

No priest or deacon with a credible allegation of sexual abuse involving a minor is allowed to serve in public ministry within the Diocese of Syracuse.

A compliance officer, a layperson with a background in law enforcement, is responsible for overseeing clergy members who have been removed from active ministry due to credible allegations of child sexual abuse.

For any questions related to our compliance procedures, please reach out to the Office of Victim Assistance at 315.470.1465.
