Where to Call
Remember, in an emergency you should call 911. And immediately following a sexual assault, you should go directly to your local hospital emergency department. At your request, the local police department with jurisdiction over the area where you were assaulted will be contacted by hospital staff.
If you would like to report a sexual assault that happened in the past, you can arrange to speak with a detective in the jurisdiction
where the crime occurred.
The Rape Crisis Program's
Law Enforcement Liaison, Lisa Stephens, is available to assist you
as you consider your options. It is her job to help you understand police
and criminal justice procedures. If you choose to pursue criminal

and criminal justice process. To learn more about her role, please click on
