• Get to a safe place.
• Call 911 if you need immediate medical or police assistance.
• Preserve all evidence of assault (evidence may still be collected up to 120 hours after the incident). Do not bathe/shower, wash your hands, brush your teeth, use mouthwash, eat, drink, smoke, or use any medications.
• Do not change clothes. If you do, bring the soiled clothes in a paper bag--not plastic.
• If you are still at the location of the crime, do not clean, straighten up, or remove anything.
• Write down or record what you remember.
• Reach out for help. Learn your options for Restricted or Unrestricted reporting so that those you reach out to will understand your needs and can best assist you.
