SAFETY PLANNINGPage 2
Taking time to think about steps to increase your safety and the safety of your children is important,
whether you have left, are considering leaving, or are currently in an abusive relationship. You may
want to consider calling a domestic violence advocacy agency to assist you in safety planning.
Call 888-DV-LINKS (888-385-4657) to speak with a confidential advocate or to be referred to an agency
that specializes in domestic violence.
You may also view the San Diego Domestic Violence Council Website for safety planning ideas and
steps for internet safety: http://www.sddvc.org
 
JAIL NOTIFICATION
Inmates may be released at any time of the day. By calling to set up a “jail notification,” you may
receive a call (usually about one hour) ahead of when your partner is to be released. Based on your
area code you may call any one of the following: (619) 531-3200 (858) 694-3200 (760) 940-4473
Two attempts will be made to contact you at the number you provide.
 
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SHELTERS
There are shelters in San Diego County specifically geared to assisting domestic violence victims.
In addition to housing and accommodations, most provide such services as advocacy, legal
assistance, and counseling onsite.
Call the 24 hour confidential, bilingual DV Hotline at 888-DV-LINKS (888-385-4657) for bed availability.
 
ORDERING POLICE REPORT(S)
Victims have a right to a free copy of their police report. Contact the responding law enforcement agency
in the jurisdiction in which the incident occurred. Requests for reports can be made to most jurisdictions
through the mail or in-person. The following information is necessary to identify the requested report:
parties involved, date and location of occurrence, and the report number if available. Bring identification if
you go in-person to pick up your report. The crime incident report is available no later than 48 business
hours and the reports are available no later than 5 business days after they are taken.
SAFE AT HOME - CONFIDENTIAL MAILING ADDRESS
Program participants are provided a post office box, at no cost, so that may use this instead of their
home address. This allows participants to safeguard their address when receiving first-class mail,
opening a bank account, completing a confidential name change, filling out government documents,
registering to vote, getting a driver’s license, enrolling a child in school, and more. You may call toll free
at 1-877-322-5227 or visit http://www.casafeathome.org for a local enrolling agency.
