Sexual Assault
SEXUAL ASSAULT PREVENTION AND RESPONSE OFFICE:

Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office (SAPR) is a DoD-wide quality of life program for victims of sexual assault crimes that provides the following services:

-- Restricted Reporting: Maintains Confidentiality -- Medical and counseling services can be utilized while maintaining confidentiality. There will NOT be an investigation if the restricted report is made to SARC, SAPR VA, or VVA. Members remain eligible to file a restricted report if they disclose the sexual assault incident to their commander/chain of command* provided they did not personally report the assault to SFS/OSI nor previously filed an unrestricted report for the same incident.

*NOTE: Commanders/Chain of Command still retain their duty to report the incident to OSI. However, OSI is required to ask the victim whether they want to participate in the investigation, and if the victim declines, OSI will offer a "Section 540K Declination to Participate in the Investigation Letter" to formally document the declination. Additionally, with the restricted reporting option, the chain of command cannot ask the victim any details regarding the case.

-- Unrestricted Reporting: INVESTIGATION STARTED -- An official investigation will begin by OSI when OSI and command are notified.
