SUBJ/CRIME REDUCTION PROGRAM INTRODUCES THE SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS 
CAMPAIGN//

RMKS/1.  THE CRIME REDUCTION PROGRAM (CRP) IS A COMMUNITY OUTREACH INITIATIVE 
DESIGNED TO REDUCE CRIMINAL THREATS AFFECTING THE DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY 
(DON).  IT IS LED BY THE NAVAL CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIVE SERVICE (NCIS) AND 
INCLUDES LAW ENFORCEMENT AND COMMUNITY SERVICE PARTNERS WITHIN DON.  USING 
ROBUST BRIEFING PROGRAMS AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH EVENTS, EACH QUARTER THE CRP 
HIGHLIGHTS A RELEVANT ISSUE.  FROM 1 OCTOBER THROUGH 31 DECEMBER 2011, THE CRP 
WILL FOCUS ITS PROGRAM AND OUTREACH ON INCREASING AWARENESS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT. 

2.  I AM COMMITTED TO REDUCING INCIDENTS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT THROUGHOUT DON.  
SEXUAL ASSAULT IS A CRIME WITH FAR-REACHING CONSEQUENCES; ASSAULTS PHYSICALLY 
AND EMOTIONALLY WOUND VICTIMS, CORRODE UNIT MORALE AND UNDERMINE OPERATIONAL 
AND COMBAT READINESS.   SIMPLY SAID, ANY INCIDENT IS UNACCEPTABLE AND IS 
INCOMPATIBLE WITH OUR CORE VALUES.  

3.  THIS QUARTER'S CRP CAMPAIGN WILL INCREASE AWARENESS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT BY 
FOCUSING ON PREVENTION, INTERVENTION, AND HELP-SEEKING BEHAVIORS.  
ADDITIONALLY, THE CAMPAIGN WILL STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF BYSTANDER 
INTERVENTION AND THE HIGH CORRELATION OF ALCOHOL OVERCONSUMPTION TO SEXUAL 
ASSAULT.  

4.  NCIS CRP REPRESENTATIVES WILL BE VISITING COMMANDS OVER THE NEXT THREE 
MONTHS TO INCREASE AWARENESS OF THE THREAT WITHIN THE NAVY AND MARINE CORPS.  
I URGE ALL TO WORK TOGETHER TO ENSURE OUR DEPARTMENT REMAINS FREE FROM SEXUAL 
ASSAULT AND ITS NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES.
