California Penal Code section 11160 requires a health practitioner who treats a wound or physical injury caused by assaultive or abusive conduct, or by a firearm, to phone local law enforcement immediately. The written follow-up goes on Cal OES 2-920 within 2 working days. The form records the patient and injury, the suspect if the patient names one, and the agencies notified.
The health practitioner who provided medical services completes Parts A to C and signs; Part B, the agencies receiving the phone and written reports, is required.
