First Lt. Shaun Berger, deputy Sexual Assault Response Coordinator, gives an overview of the SAPR office’s mission and services during the Dec. 8 Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Symposium at the Tinker Club. Lieutenant Berger also discussed new Air Force Instructions to their program. One of the big changes is that SAPR services are now available to Department of Defense Air Force civilians. Civilians are eligible for restricted and unrestricted reporting, victim advocates and referrals to off-base medical and mental health through the YMCA. At this time, civilians are not eligible for legal or non-emergency medical services. The symposium offered valuable information from key people in organizations around base who support SAPR in various ways, such as the office of special investigations, judge advocate office and family advocacy.
