Evidence Collection

Anaheim Regional Medical Center

Next to the Emergency Department at Anaheim Regional Medical Center (AHMC) is the Safe Place, a sexual assault examination unit. In order to visit the Safe Place, individuals must be assessed by the medical staff in the Emergency Department to ensure that medical emergencies are addressed. After that, patients have a few options at the Safe Place at Anaheim Regional, including accessing a forensic exam or other medical check-up. A forensic exam is a trauma-informed medical examination conducted by a certified forensic nurse to collect evidence from a sexual assault.

AHMC Anaheim Regional Medical Center has the only Safe Place in Orange County. Every other emergency department and medical center in Orange County refers their patients to the AHMC Safe Place once they have been medically evaluated. Patients who are seeking a forensic medical exam or similar care are encouraged to go directly to AHMC:

1111 W La Palma Ave. Anaheim, CA 92901
714-774-1450

Other Types of Evidence

Consider keeping track of other kinds of evidence, such as:

  • Pictures and videos from doorbell cameras, surveillance cameras, and social media posts
  • The names of people who may have witnessed the incident or heard about the incident
  • Any messages or communication with involved parties, including voicemails, texts, emails, and social media messages
  • Information or documentation about or photos of injuries
  • Receipts indicating location and activities

Preserving Evidence

In the event that you decide to report either directly after an incident or some time later, it is always a good idea to preserve all physical evidence, such as clothing, bedding, or photos of injuries, as well as digital evidence, such as text messages, instant or direct messages, social networking pages or posts, and/or photos. 

You have the right under state and federal law to receive a medical evidentiary examination anonymously and at no cost. If you choose not to report to law enforcement, you still have a right to a forensic exam, sometimes referred to as a VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) exam. Anyone of any gender identity can receive a VAWA exam. Evidence from a VAWA exam is collected and preserved for up to two years. 

If you visit a medical facility solely for the purpose of requesting a forensic exam, law enforcement will be notified, but you have the right to not participate or agree to participate in a criminal justice process, either prior to the examination or at any other time. 

While some forms of misconduct prohibited by the CSU Nondiscrimination Policy may also be prohibited by law, you have the right to choose whether to report an incident as a crime or to decline to report an incident to law enforcement. You have the right to not be forced, coerced, or pressured into reporting to law enforcement. You also have the right to report to law enforement at any time.

reporting is the person alleged to have experienced the conduct that could constitute sex discrimination 
or sexual harassment), in-person, by mail, by telephone, or by electronic mail, using the contact 
information listed below for the Title IX Coordinator, or by any other means that results in the Title IX 
Coordinator receiving the person’s verbal or written report. Such a report may be made at any time 
(including during non-business hours) by using the telephone number or electronic mail address, or by
