The UMB Police Department offers these suggestions on what to do if you're assaulted.

Actions to take:

• Get to a place where you will be safe from further attack.

• For your own protection, call the police immediately, especially if the assailant is still nearby. The police will help you whether or not you choose to prosecute the assailant.

• Call a friend or family member for support.

• Get medical attention immediately. The primary purpose of a medical examination following a rape is to check for physical injury, the presence of sexually transmitted diseases or pregnancy as a result of the rape. The secondary purpose of a medical examination is to aid in the police investigation and legal proceedings. So, get medical attention as quickly as possible.

• Don't bathe or douche. Bathing or douching might be the first thing you want to do. However, you will be literally washing away valuable evidence. Wait until a doctor has examined you.

• Save your clothing. It is all right to change clothes. But save what you were wearing. Your clothing could be used as evidence for prosecution. Place each item of clothing in a separate paper bag for the police.

• Report the incident to the police. It is up to you, but reporting a rape isn't the same thing as prosecuting a rape. Prosecution can be determined later. To contact the University Police, call 410.837.4444, any time—24 hours a day. Campus personnel are willing and able to assist victims in reporting assaults to the proper authorities.

If you are a victim of a sexual assault and decide not to notify the police, please secure medical attention and contact any of the victim support resources listed below.

In addition, there are free pamphlets available on all these topics.
