The FBI wants to recruit Kentuckians to help uncover public corruption in a state long hampered by scandals.

The crime-fighting agency on Friday announced its "End Corruption Now'' campaign in Kentucky. The initiative includes a toll-free tip line and email address to allow people to report suspicions of wrongdoing by public officials. 

A billboard campaign will publicize the effort.

Howard S. Marshall, special agent in charge of the FBI's Louisville division, says the public should expect nothing but integrity from every public official. To accept less, he says, perpetuates the state's reputation for corruption.

A 2014 Harvard study identified Kentucky as one of the nation's most corrupt states.
