the emergency number
If you are in danger right now, call this number. Escrow is not an emergency service and cannot send anyone to you.
where to report
Call 911 if you are in danger, or call LAPD's non-emergency line at 1-877-527-3247 (1-877-LAPD-24-7) to reach a detective, or walk into any LAPD station. LAPD works alongside the countywide Sexual Assault Response Team, which includes the UCLA Rape Treatment Center.
what to bring
You do not need to file a police report before going to a hospital for care, and getting a forensic exam does not commit you to pressing charges.
the exam window
The UCLA Rape Treatment Center and other LA County SART hospitals give free forensic exams 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Evidence is best collected within the first few days, but California hospitals will still examine survivors afterward.
the deadline
California removed the statute of limitations for most felony rape charges filed for crimes committed on or after 2017, so you can report at any time. Older cases may still have a filing deadline, so it helps to report as soon as you can.
support organisations
People near you who do this every day.
These are independent of Escrow. They can sit with you through a report, and they can also just talk.
