How often must the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response program Executive Agent report sexual assault occurrences to commanders?

The Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) program aims to address and mitigate sexual assault occurrences within the Navy through a structured reporting and support system. By requiring the Executive Agent to report sexual assault occurrences to commanders on a quarterly basis, the program ensures that leadership is regularly informed about the incidence of sexual assaults. This frequent reporting enables commanders to stay updated on the trends and patterns within their units, fostering an environment where proactive measures can be taken to prevent such incidents. Additionally, more regular updates facilitate timely assessments and adjustments to prevention strategies and response efforts, reflecting the dynamic nature of the challenges posed by sexual assault within the military community. This frequency strikes a balance between providing sufficient data for informed decision-making and preventing overwhelming commanders with excessive information.
