Overview

• Service secretaries accepted recommendations to require commanders to report service members' threats against civilians or non‑government facilities to senior leaders.
• The review found installation law enforcement inconsistently notified military criminal investigative organizations, with 2023 compliance at 47.8% for the Army and 43.4% for the Navy.
• Directors of the Army Criminal Investigation Division and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service will review previously unreported violent‑threat cases and pursue additional investigative steps as needed.
• The Army and Navy agreed to standardize how installation law enforcement documents communications when notifying investigative agencies about violent threats.
• The reforms stem from the Oct. 25, 2023 Lewiston shooting that killed 18 and injured 13, lawsuits by survivors have since been filed, and the inspector general has not yet verified implementation.
