SAPRO is committed to eliminating sexual assault in the military and promoting force readiness. The Department is pursuing integrated primary prevention aimed at stopping harmful behaviors in the military community before they occur.

Everyone has a role to play in fighting the crime of sexual assault.
To effectively prevent sexual assault from happening in the first place, we are building on a decade of field experience and the latest in prevention science. Prevention efforts are working toward ensuring that:  
  • Leadership and the Integrated Primary Prevention Workforce (IPPW) are appropriately trained and supported in their prevention roles.
  • Infrastructure is in place to foster the implementation of effective and lasting prevention efforts.
  • Collaborative relationships exist within and across similarly invested organizations.
  • Implementation of prevention activities draws on a thorough understanding of the problem, comprehensive planning, and continuous evaluation.

Across the Department, prevention efforts use a public health perspective to deliver primary prevention that is unit climate-focused, integrated, comprehensive, and data-driven.
