A Special Incident Report, or SIR, is a formal report that is filed with the regional center whenever a person served by the regional center is involved in an unusual event, such as a crime or injury.
There are detailed and specific rules about SIRs that service providers and regional centers must follow whenever a special incident occurs including:
- Within 24 hours, verbally notify RCOC of the incident via phone at (714) 796-5335
- Within 48 hours, complete and submit to RCOC a Special Incident Report form
