Sexual assault advocates are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program is located on-board NAS Pensacola at the Fleet and Family Support Center. The sexual assault victim advocate is designed to meet the needs of victims of adult sexual assault regardless of service affiliation, this includes active duty members, family members and DoD civilians. Members have a choice of reporting options, either unrestricted or restricted. Note that all SAPR services are voluntary.

Restricted reporting involves the victim reporting to any of the following confidential personnel: A SAPR unit military victim advocate or a civilian victim advocate (SAPR CVA), the sexual assault response coordinator (SARC), healthcare provider, or chaplain and Special Victim's Counsel or Victim's Legal Counsel. Know that you do not lose the opportunity to make a restricted report if you talk to your chain of command but they are mandated reporters.

Unrestricted reporting is when a sexual assault victim reports openly to law enforcement, i.e. Master Arms, Local Police Department, NCIS, etc.

SAPR unit victim advocates are trained volunteers who:

• Respond immediately to victims of sexual assault
• Provide information and explain reporting options
• Help victims work through barriers
• Accompany victims during medical, investigative and legal procedures
• Make referrals for military and community assistance
• Help victims sort through overwhelming feelings

Victims' services include:

• Victim advocacy
• Information and Referrals
• Medical attention/Forensic exam
• Counseling referrals
• Investigation by law enforcement
• Victim’s Legal Counsel
• Military Protective Order/Civilian Restraining Order
• Chaplain support
• CATCH database
• Retaliation reporting

If you have been sexually assaulted or think you have been:

Go to a safe location away from your attacker
Seek medical care as soon as possible. Even if you do not have any visible physical injuries, you may be injured or be at risk of becoming pregnant or acquiring a sexually-transmitted disease.
Contact a victims' advocate or SARC
If you suspect you may have been drugged, request a urine sample be collected. Preserve all evidence of the assault. Do not bathe, wash your hands or brush your teeth.
Do not clean or straighten up the crime scene. Write down, or record by any means, any details you can recall about the assault and your assailant.
