Sexual Assault Prevention and Response

The Sexual Assault Prevention and Response program is responsible for sexual assault policy at the U.S. Air Force Academy. The U.S. Air Force Academy does not tolerate sexual assault and has instituted a comprehensive policy to ensure the safety, dignity and well-being of all Airmen.

This Web site provides guidance and other information for victims of sexual assault, unit commanders, first responders and others who deal with this sensitive issue. The site addresses confidentiality, reporting procedures and other elements of the Academy's sexual assault policy as well as training information, safety tips, resources and links to related Web sites.

Do not change your clothes.
Do not brush your teeth or use mouthwash.
If you use the bathroom, save your urine for testing at the hospital.
