Los Angeles Air Force Base has established a Sexual Assault Prevention and Response program to coordinate sexual assault victim care. Upon receipt of a report of sexual assault, the Sexual Assault Response Coordinator will assign a Victim Advocate to help you obtain necessary services and to provide crisis intervention, referral and ongoing non-clinical support. Support will include providing information on available reporting options and resources so you can make informed decisions about your case. The Victim Advocate will accompany you, if desired, to investigative interviews, medical examinations and follow-up appointments. Your VA will continue to assist you until you no longer feel a need for support.
If you have been assaulted: -- Go to a safe location away from the attacker. -- Call911if you are in an emergency situation or need immediate medical attention. Even if you doubt you have any visible physical injuries, you may be at risk for sexually transmitted infections or pregnant. -- If you suspect you have been drugged, request that a urine sample be collected. -- Preserve all evidence of the assault. Do not shower, bathe, change clothes, brush your teeth, eat or drink anything. Do not straighten up or clean up the crime scene. -- Ask the health care provider to conduct a sexual assault forensic exam to preserve forensic evidence. -- Write down, tape or record by any other means all the details you can recall about the assault and your assailant. -- We encourage you to break the silence and report sexual assault. Contact the Sexual Assault Response Coordinator,your Wingman for 24-hour confidential support:(310) 653-7272 -- Talk with a counselor who is trained to assist you with the emotional and physical impacts of sexual assault.
