Emergencies
Call 9-1-1 if you are in the midst of any kind of emergency, immediate harm or threat of harm. You can also call San Diego Police Department at (619) 531-2000. If you are on campus, you can also call 国产剧麻豆剧 Public Safety at (619) 849-2525.
Making a Report to Police and Filing a Criminal Complaint
If you have experienced sexual violence, you are encouraged to seek immediate assistance from police. The San Diego Police Department can be reached at (619) 531-2000.
If you are planning to file a criminal complaint or might do so later, a SART exam (also known as a rape kit) can secure valuable evidence that can be used. It is important to do this as soon as possible, preferably within 72 hours. If possible, do not drink, bathe, douche, brush your teeth, change clothing, or comb your hair. It's only natural to want to do these things, but you may be destroying evidence you will need if you decide to prosecute at a later date. Put all clothing, bedding, and other evidence in a paper (not plastic) bag. A SART exam is done by medical staff at the following hospitals:
Palomar Hospital
(760) 739-3800
Pomerado Hospital
(858) 613-4457
Navy Medical Center
(Military Personnel and Military Dependents Only)
(619) 532-8275
These hospitals will also provide medical care including testing for pregnancy, STDs, and HIV as well as check for internal and external injuries
Follow Up Medical Care
If you have experienced sexual violence, you are encouraged to seek follow up medical care after a SART exam or if you choose not to do a SART exam. This can be done at your primary care provider or at the 国产剧麻豆剧 Wellness Center. This includes testing for pregnancy as well as testing and treating STDs or treating injuries.
