Options for Reporting

There are many options for reporting and there is no one right way to report. You can choose what is best for you based on the resources you are interested in and what level of privacy feels most comfortable for you.

Confidential Resources:

Utilizing a confidential resource can be a helpful way to learn about all of the options for reporting and processes available to those who have experienced sexual assault, relationship abuse, stalking, and sexual harassment. These resources do not disclose the identity of those who use their resources. There are some limits to this confidentiality. For example, if a minor was harmed or witnessed an instance of sexual violence or relationship violence, confidentiality must be broken.

Report to Police

Police reports are public record.聽聽A victim/survivor may file initial reports with law enforcement without filing charges. Filing a police report allows the survivor to potentially choose to pursue legal accountability.聽If a victim decides not to press charges the initial report will still become public record but the victim鈥檚 name will not be included. To report to police, contact the police department of the town/ city the violence occurred in.
