Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024
Section II-501 - Report of Offense
A. There are a number of ways a commander can become aware of a criminal act committed by a service member, including personal observation, receipt of a report or complaint from an individual within or without the command, or receipt of a formal report from a law enforcement agency, including the military police or Criminal Investigation Command. This information may be incomplete and may require further investigation. Chapter 3 deals with the subject of Investigating and Obtaining Evidence. Any person may report an offense that is a violation of law. Ordinarily, any military authority who receives a report of an offense shall forward as soon as practicable the report and any accompanying information to the immediate commander of the suspect. However, competent authority superior to that commander may direct otherwise. [R.C.M.301(b).]
