Sexual Assault Prevention and Response

Sexual assault has no place within the Indiana National Guard. It contradicts our core values and weakens our organization. Leaders at every level are expected to be proactive in preventing sexual assault by implementing the state Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) Program within their units and instituting training that promotes bystander intervention and adherence to the Army Values.
There are more than 80 nationally certified SAPR Victim Advocates serving in units throughout the Indiana National Guard. The SAPR Program actively hosts training for these advocates and continually seeks to certify new advocates. The program also hosts and attends several public events each year to promote awareness.
The SAPR Program is networked with civilian agencies throughout the state to ensure an even greater availability of resources to prevent sexual assault and to aid victims of sexual assault.
