Elements Needed to Prove Battery There are four things that a prosecutor must be able to prove in order for a person to be convicted of battery: intent, contact, harm and damages.
You can request a copy of a report from the Sheriff's station that wrote the report, or responded to the incident. If within 14 days of the incident, please contact the handling station to confirm the report is available. You may also request a copy of a report via mail or by contacting the Information Services Bureau.
Use Text to 911 only when calling is not an option. Use Text to 911 if you are hearing/voice impaired, are in a dangerous situation where you are unable to speak, or during a medical emergency in which you are incapable of speech.
Complaint Procedure You should first contact the Sheriff's station where the incident occurred. You may also contact the Sheriff's Professional Standards Bureau to file a complaint.
The process of obtaining an arrest warrant begins when law enforcement officers or prosecutors present evidence to a judge demonstrating probable cause that a person has committed a crime. To issue an arrest warrant, the judge must be convinced that there is sufficient evidence to justify the arrest.
Assault is verbal in nature, while battery is physical. For example, if you tell someone you will slap their face, you have committed assault. If you do actually slap the person's face, you have engaged in contact with the person and committed battery.
