6.3. Voluntary, Confidential Reporting

If you or someone you know decides not to report an incident to the university or law enforcement, you still have the option of filing a voluntary, confidential report.

Reporting anonymously allows WSU Vancouver to include the report in the annual disclosure of crime statistics included in this report. Reporting anonymously also allows victims to gather information and learn about options available to them, before deciding on an appropriate option. Contact the relevant local agency (e.g., the WSU Vancouver Police Department at 360-546-9001, the Clark County Sheriff’s Office by calling 911 or other local law enforcement agency) to determine the level of anonymity available some limitations may apply depending upon the circumstances. Reports of sexual assault may be made anonymously to the WSU Vancouver Police Department. Discrimination, sexual harassment, and sexual misconduct, as defined by UPPM 10.60, may also be reported anonymously to WSU CCR in person, by calling 509-335-8288, or through

 the Online Reporting form, for services, options, and inclusion in the statistics disclosure.

Individuals can also seek confidential services from the WSU Vancouver Wellness Center or WSU Cougar Health Services, and/or from statewide advocacy groups.

For additional state-wide advocacy groups see the Washington Coalition of Sexual Assault Program list.
