Equal Employment Opportunity

Missouri State Public Defender nondiscrimination and complaint information.

The Missouri State Public Defender is committed to providing equal employment opportunity for all. MSPD ensures this throughout the employment process, including recruiting, hiring, training and development, job assignments, promotions, transfers, terminations, compensation, and discipline.

Discrimination or harassment based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, genetic information, and any other classes protected by federal or state law is prohibited and will not be tolerated. Retaliation against any employee who complains about discrimination or harassment is also prohibited and will not be tolerated. It is the responsibility of all administrative and supervisory personnel to ensure compliance.

Applicants for, or recipients of, services from MSPD who believe they have been denied a service or benefit may file a complaint by contacting the Missouri State Public Defender Human Resources Manager.
