Such policies should include items such as contact information for reporting harassment incidents, procedures for filing claims, and any corrective or preventative measures should a claim be proven.

The laws of the state of Maryland and federal law have both created agencies with the authority to investigate sexual harassment claims. These agencies conduct investigations at a given Baltimore work site in order to verify if a complaint that they have received is true or not.
