911 Call 911 if you or someone you know is in danger. When you call 911, an operator will listen to you and refer your message to police who will react immediately and arrive to help. The officers will interview you and the suspect separately to establish the circumstances of the case. If needed, they will provide first aid and call EMS. You will not need to report on the perpetrator. If you have been physically injured go to a hospital emergency department or visit your physician’s office to be examined as soon as you can. This will provide you with evidence in case you want to report to the police later.
