NOTIFICATION FOR EVIDENCE CUSTODIAN, MCIOs, AND LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL INVOLVED IN THE RETURN OF PERSONAL PROPERTY OBTAINED AS PART OF A RESTRICTED
REPORTING SAFE KIT: Section 536 of NDAA for Fiscal Year 2020 provides Restricted Reporting victims the opportunity to request the return of their personal property without affecting the restricted nature of their
Restricted Report. As a result of this confidentiality requirement, evidence custodians and any assisting MCIOs and military law enforcement personnel will NOT report this sexual assault allegation and will NOT
initiate an investigation into this matter when they discover the name of the victim and/or suspect with regard to the §536 Return of Victim's Personal Property in a Restricted Reporting case.
This policy exemption from reporting or initiating an investigation also appears in DoD Instruction 5505.18, “Investigation of Adult Sexual Assault in the Department of Defense,” located at https://www.esd.whs.mil/
Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodi/550518p.pdf?ver=2019-01-31-120953-593.

1. Return of personal property in Restricted Reporting case collected during a Sexual Assault Forensic Examination (SAFE) discussed with SARC or SAPR VA:
I, (Full Name)

, met with a Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Victim Advocate (SAPR VA)

or a Sexual Assault Response Coordinator (SARC) to discuss the return of my personal property collected during my SAFE.
INITIALS

The SARC or SAPR has informed me:
(1) In accordance with Section 536 of NDAA for FY 2020, I can request the return of my personal property obtained during my SAFE at a Military Treatment
Facility (MTF), when I filed a Restricted Report. [However, this form is not applicable to Service members or National Guard members who obtained a sexual
assault forensic exam at a civilian facility, and whose kit and personal property is maintained by civilian law enforcement.]
(2) This request will not compromise the Restricted nature of my Restricted Report, in accordance with the policy changes for investigators in DoDI 5505.18.
Consequently, the new policy means that if the evidence custodian or other law enforcement personnel see my name or the suspect’s name, they will NOT start
an investigation and my Restricted Report will remain unchanged.

NEEDS DD67

(3) This request for the return of my personal property may negatively impact a future investigation and prosecution, if I later decide to convert the Restricted
Report to an Unrestricted Report or if I participate in the CATCH a Serial Offender Program (CATCH) and there is a match. If I would like more information on
the military justice impacts, I should consult with a Special Victims' Counsel (SVC), Victims' Legal Counsel (VLC), or a legal assistance attorney, if I am eligible
for one.
(4) About the CATCH Program and how to submit an entry.

(5) I can consult with a Special Victims' Counsel (SVC), Victims' Legal Counsel (VLC), or a legal assistance attorney, if I am eligible for one, before deciding to
file this request for the return of my personal property obtained during my SAFE.
(6) A copy of this 2910-3 form will be kept inside the SAFE Kit in the custody of the evidence custodian and the SARC confirmed that he or she will provide me 2
copies of this completed DD Form 2910-3: one for me to give the evidence custodian and one for my personal records.
(7) When I receive my personal property from the evidence custodian, the evidence custodian will ask me to sign an evidence form (not the 2910-3) stating that I
received the personal property requested.
• If there is an issue with my personal property: I should not sign this and I should not retrieve the personal property, and should address the problem with the
SARC, who will make the appropriate referral.
• If there is no issue: Then I should sign the evidence custodian's form confirming receipt of my personal property.
