Reporting Options

Reporting is one option available after interpersonal harm. A report can be made to the university, law enforcement, or both, depending on the situation.

Reporting is not required to receive confidential support, medical care, or other assistance. Some people report immediately, some report later, and some choose not to report.

Reporting offices are not confidential resources. CAPE can confidentially explain reporting options before someone decides whether to make a report.

If there is immediate danger, call 911.

Reporting to Law Enforcement

Law enforcement can receive reports of conduct that may be a crime. The appropriate department generally depends on where the incident occurred.

CSUDH Police Department

For incidents occurring on or near the CSUDH campus:

Emergency: 911
Non-Emergency: (310) 243-3639
Hours: 24/7

Incidents Away From Campus

For incidents that occurred away from CSUDH, a report can generally be made to the law enforcement agency serving the location where the incident occurred.

CAPE can help identify the appropriate agency and provide support when navigating the reporting process.

Support When Considering a Report

There is no requirement to make a reporting decision before seeking confidential support.

CAPE can provide confidential information about reporting options, help prepare for what to expect, and provide accompaniment during a Title IX or law enforcement process when requested.

Sexual Assault Survivor Rights

California law provides specific rights for people reporting sexual assault, including rights related to information, advocacy, and the forensic examination process.
