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:

1. Within 24 hours, verbally notify RCOC of the incident via phone at (714) 796-5335
2. Within 48 hours, complete and submit to RCOC a Special Incident Report form

If you have a tip to report to RCOC’s Anonymous Reporting/Community Watch Line, call (800) 461-9880.
