Unrestricted Reporting The Unrestricted Reporting option is for
victims of sexual assault who desire medical treatment, referral services and an
official investigation of the crime. When selecting unrestricted reporting, you
can report to your chain of command or law enforcement. You can also report the
incident to SARC, VA or healthcare personnel. The incident will be limited to
only those personnel who have a legitimate need to
know.
Restricted Reporting The Restricted Reporting
option is for victims of sexual assault who wish to confidentially disclose the
crime to specifically identified individuals and receive medical treatment and
services without triggering the official investigative process. Service members
who are sexually assaulted and desire restricted reporting must report the
assault to SARC, VA or healthcare personnel. They should also be mindful that
disclosure to anyone else may trigger an unrestricted report.
