Types of Reporting

 Restricted:
· SARC does not notify the chain of command
· Victim advocate attends to victim's needs and provides supportive services
· Victim receives medical care and counseling
· Victim can initiate an unrestricted reporting decision at a later date

Unrestricted:
· The chain of command is notified and begins a criminal investigation
· Victim advocate attends to victim's needs and provides supportive services
· Victim receives medical care and counseling

Independent:
· If you notify law enforcement or your chain of command, the report is considered unrestricted.
· If you tell someone who subsequently notifies the chain of command, or if someone observes the assault and notifies command, the report is considered unrestricted and an investigation is launched.
· To preserve your right to restricted report, contact the SARC first.
