SUBJ/CRIME REDUCTION PROGRAM INTRODUCES THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS 
CAMPAIGN//

RMKS/ 1.  FROM 1 OCTOBER 2012 THROUGH 31 DECEMBER 2012, THE CRIME REDUCTION 
PROGRAM (CRP) WILL FOCUS ITS EFFORTS ON DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS.  THE 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 BOTH LAW ENFORCEMENT AND COMMUNITY 
SERVICE PARTNERS WITHIN THE DON.  EACH QUARTER, THE CRP IDENTIFIES A RELEVANT 
ISSUE TO HIGHLIGHT THROUGH ROBUST BRIEFING PROGRAM AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH 
EVENTS.

2.  DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CAN TAKE MANY FORMS.  FROM VERBAL AND EMOTIONAL ATTACKS 
TO PHYSICAL AND SEXUAL ASSAULTS, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CAN RESULT IN SEVERE MENTAL 
ANGUISH, BODILY INJURY, OR EVEN DEATH.  DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IS A CRIME BETWEEN 
FAMILY MEMBERS OR SIGNIFICANT OTHERS, AND IS PUNISHABLE BY THE UNIFORM CODE OF 
MILITARY JUSTICE, FEDERAL, AND STATE LAWS.  THE DON IS COMMITTED TO 
ELIMINATING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AMONG OUR SERVICE MEMBERS, CIVILIAN EMPLOYEES, 
AND FAMILY MEMBERS.  DOMESTIC ABUSE BETWEEN LOVED ONES IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH 
THE CORE VALUES OF ALL SAILORS AND MARINES.

3.  IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE COMMANDER, NAVY INSTALLATIONS COMMAND AND THE 
FAMILY ADVOCACY PROGRAM, THE JOINT MESSAGE OF PREVENTION FOR THIS CAMPAIGN IS:  
"HOME IS NOT A WARZONE: BRINGING PEACE TO RELATIONSHIPS."

4.  IN CONCERT WITH THE 21ST CENTURY SAILOR AND MARINE INITIATIVE, THE FOCUS 
OF THIS CAMPAIGN IS ON PREVENTING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND EMPHASIZING BYSTANDER 
INTERVENTION.  DON PERSONNEL ARE ENCOURAGED TO REPORT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE 
RELATED INCIDENTS TO PROPER DON LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES.  IN CIRCUMSTANCES 
WHERE SERVICE MEMBERS ARE HESITANT OR PERCEIVE IT WOULD BE UNSAFE TO REPORT 
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE INCIDENTS TO DON LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES, THEY MAY DO SO 
ANONYMOUSLY THROUGH THE NCIS TEXT & WEB TIP LINE (HTTP://WWW.NCIS.NA VY.MIL).

5.  EDUCATION IS A KEY COMPONENT OF ALL CRP CAMPAIGNS.  THROUGHOUT THIS THREE-
MONTH CAMPAIGN, NCIS REPRESENTATIVES WILL VISIT COMMANDS TO PROVIDE DOMESTIC 
VIOLENCE AWARENESS BRIEFINGS.  INCREASING AWARENESS THROUGHOUT THE DON ABOUT 
THE NEGATIVE IMPACT OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE WILL HELP ENSURE NAVY AND MARINE 
CORPS WAR-FIGHTER PREPAREDNESS.
