Adult Protective Services

This tool is intended for mandated reporters to submit non-urgent reports of elder or dependent adult abuse to San Diego County Adult Protective Services. Do not report abuse of children which is done through separate portal.

If you are not a mandated reporter, or if the situation appears to require immediate or urgent attention, please call 1-800-339-4661, available 24/7.

Please review instructional video for mandated reporters on how to submit a report through this system as it answers some frequently asked questions about the fields and requirements.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO INCLUDE IN REPORT AS A MANDATED REPORTER

In the “What happened today that led you to make a report section” include:
- Full narrative describing who, what, where, when, and why.
- Explain why reporting now if incident is historical.
- Include the current safety level of the person (1 = most unsafe, 10 = most safe);
- Has the abuse been mitigated in any way prior to this report.
- Whether the person/client can advocate for themselves and if not, describe the limitations.
