WHAT TO TELL THE POLICE
- When giving a police report be very detailed and tell them everything you remember about the person, incident, or situation.
- Background facts may be important, so share them briefly and allow the officer to ask questions.
- Give information about where the suspect lives or works, if known to you.
- Do not guess. If you do not remember something or what someone looked like, just say you don’t remember.
- Tell the police if you feel you are in imminent danger.
WHAT TO DO NEXT
- Find somewhere safe if you feel you are in immediate danger, such as a shelter or a family member’s or friend’s home. If your situation meet the requirements, you may wish to seek an Order of Protection through the courts.
- If you learn any information after making your initial police report, report the additional information to the police.
- You may be contacted by the Prosecutor’s Office regarding charges that have been filed. You may be subpoenaed to testify as to what you have seen or been through.
