Reporting to the police is an option at any time. It鈥檚 best to report right away but if not reported immediately, the crime can still be reported later. Going to the police doesn鈥檛 commit you to taking the process further but getting assistance from the police does make it possible for action to be taken at a later date. The CARE Advocate can assist you with this process.</p> <h2 class="odo-header">UCSF Police Department</h2> <p><strong><u>Emergency</u> <u>(24</u> <u>hours)</u></strong><br /> From a campus line, dial 9-911<br /> From a non-campus line or cell phone, dial <a href="tel:(415) 476-6911">(415) 476-6911</a></p> <p><strong>Non-Emergency (24 hours)</strong><br /> <a href="tel:(415) 476-1414">(415) 476-1414</a> | <a href="http://police.ucsf.edu" target="_blank">police.ucsf.edu</a></p> <h2 class="odo-header">Evidence Collection</h2> <p>If you experience a sexual assault and think you might want to pursue a criminal case now or in the future you should consider a forensic exam. Forensic exams are performed for free at <strong>San Francisco General Hospital Rape Treatment Center located in the Emergency Department</strong>. They can be performed as late as 5 days after the assault but sooner is better and if performed within 72 hours they can include <strong>HIV prevention medication and emergency contraception</strong>. If you can, in order to preserve evidence, don鈥檛 wash, shower, or change. If you do change put each item of clothing in a separate paper (not plastic) bag. If possible leave the area where the assault occurred undisturbed. The hospital is mandated to report the assault, but the police generally do not pursue investigation without the victim's involvement. If you would like to file a police report hospital staff can help you to do so.</p> </div></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="sidebar" class="column"> <div class="sidebar_top"> <div class="region region-sidebar-top"> <div id="block-menu-block-2" class="block block-menu-block"> <h3><a href="/filing-report" class="contextlessness active-trail">Filing a Report</a></h3> <div class="content"> <div class="menu-block-wrapper menu-block-2 menu-name-main-menu parent-mlid-0 menu-level-2"> <ul class="menu"><li class="first leaf menu-mlid-1801"><a href="/confidential-non-reporting-options">Non-reporting Options</a></li> <li class="leaf active-trail active menu-mlid-1786"><a href="/criminal-reporting" class="active-trail active">Criminal Reporting</a></li> <li class="leaf menu-mlid-1791"><a href="/civil-reporting">Civil Reporting</a></li> <li class="leaf menu-mlid-1796"><a href="/administrative-reporting">Administrative Reporting</a></li> <li class="last leaf menu-mlid-1806"><a href="/administrative-and-civil-protection">No-Contact Orders</a></li> </ul></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div id="footer"> <div class="section"> <div class="region region-footer"> <div id="block-block-16" class="block block-block footer-block footer-contact-block"> <h3>Contact Us</h3> <div class="content"> <p><a href="/"><strong>UCSF CARE Advocate</strong></a><br /> University of California at San Francisco<br /> Mission Center Building, 1855 Folsom St, Suite 561 (<a href="https://goo.gl/maps/fygY697XM13QJP4s5" target="_blank" style="text-decoration:underline;">Map</a>)<br /> San Francisco, CA, 94103<br /> Tel: (415) 502-8802<br /> Email: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#b1d2d0c3d4f1c4d2c2d79fd4d5c4"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="fa999b889fba8f99899cd49f9e8f">[email protected]</span></a> </p> <p>聽</p> </div> </div> <div id="block-block-21" class="block block-block footer-block footer-social-block"> <h3>Connect</h3> <div class="content"> <p style="xmargin-top:25px;"> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CAREatUCSF" target="_blank"><img alt="Join us on Facebook." src="/sites/g/files/tkssra791/f/facebook_tmb.png" style="margin-right: 15px;" /></a> <a href="//twitter.com/CAREatUCSF" target="_blank"><img alt="Follow us on Twitter." src="/sites/g/files/tkssra791/f/twitter_icon_tmb2.png" style="margin-right: 15px;" /></a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ucsfcare/" target="_blank"><img alt="See us on Instagram." src="/sites/g/files/tkssra791/f/instagram_tmb.png" /></a>  </p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="footer-bottom"> <nav aria-label="Footer Navigation" class="footer--navigation"> <ul> <li><a href="/contact-us">Contact Us</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ucsf.edu/accessibility-resources">Accessibility</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ucsf.edu/website-privacy-policy">Privacy Policy</a></li> <li><a href="https://websites.ucsf.edu/website-terms-use">Terms of Use </a></li> <li><a href="https://websites.ucsf.edu/azlist">A-Z Website List</a></li> </ul> </nav> <div class="footer--copyright"> <p>© 2025 The Regents of the University of California</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <script data-cfasync="false" src="/cdn-cgi/scripts/5c5dd728/cloudflare-static/email-decode.min.js"></script><script type="text/javascript"> /*<![CDATA[*/ (function() { var sz = document.createElement('script'); sz.type = 'text/javascript'; sz.async = true; sz.src = '//siteimproveanalytics.com/js/siteanalyze_8343.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(sz, s); })(); /*]]>*/ </script> </body> </html>
