Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault Resources
If you are in immediate danger, call 911.
Confidential help is available throughout the CSRA for people experiencing domestic violence, sexual assault, or abuse.
Using a shared or monitored device
Phones, computers, online accounts, and internet activity can all be used to monitor someone without their knowledge. If you are concerned that someone may be monitoring your device, consider using a phone, computer, or account they cannot access when you look for help.
The Quick Exit button on this page, or pressing Escape three times, will immediately take you away from CSRA Crime, but it will not erase your browsing history, your call history, or other records of your activity.
Private or incognito browsing reduces some of what your browser stores, but it does not make your activity completely private. Your browsing may still be visible in other ways.
