SEEK is a tool designed to help survivors privately gather information and explore your options for medical care, supportive services, and reporting to police.

SEEK* discusses the role of different individuals who can provide you support such as victim advocates, medical professionals, law enforcement, and addresses real-world questions survivors may have around forensic exams, crime victim rights, and more.

Survivors can start the reporting process in SPEAK, a self-guided interview where you can share as much or as little information as you feel comfortable with. When you finish, it creates a downloadable PDF, which you can choose to save for your own reference or forward to law enforcement. For your privacy, the site will prompt you to clear your data after downloading your report.

If you decide to share your report with the Seattle Police Department, you can send it to seekthenspeak@seattle.gov. SPD will review your report and may open an official investigation. It’s important to note that once submitted, these reports become police records, and may be accessible in subsequent legal matters.
