You are in control of how you report abuse.

There are two reporting paths:

  • Restricted Reporting is private. You can talk to a Victim Advocate or healthcare provider – and get medical treatment, counseling, and advocacy – without notifying your chain of command or law enforcement.

  • Unrestricted Reporting includes an official investigation and the involvement of command. It also ensures access to the full range of military protections and services.

Our staff will walk you through both options so you can make the choice that’s right for you.

Child Safety and Reporting

Every child deserves a safe home.

If you suspect a child is in danger, take action. Call 911 if the situation is urgent. Otherwise, you can report concerns to Military Police, Child Protective Services, or directly to the Family Advocacy Program.

We also provide education for parents on child supervision guidelines and host workshops on how to recognize and prevent abuse. Keeping children safe is a shared responsibility, and reporting early can prevent further harm.
