Within how many days must Commanders, COs, and OICs conduct their initial one-on-one SAPR brief?

The requirement for Commanders, Commanding Officers (COs), and Officers in Charge (OICs) to conduct their initial one-on-one SAPR brief is set at 30 days. This timeline is crucial because it ensures that leaders are promptly educated on the Navy’s Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) policies and procedures. By completing the initial brief within this period, Commanders and other leadership can effectively demonstrate their commitment to fostering a culture of prevention and intervention within their commands. It also lays the foundation for ongoing training and awareness, which are essential for maintaining a proactive stance against sexual assault in the Navy. Ensuring timely training is vital for leaders to support victims, promote reporting, and reinforce the resources available within the SAPR program.
