In the case of immediate danger or risk to safety, Resolution Specialists may connect you to 9-1-1 or another emergency service provider who may require additional information to respond.

Confidential information may be used to allow Tip Line Responders to follow up with you and to check on whether the issue has been resolved and to inquire on your health and safety.
