Military services change reporting process for threats

Army, Navy, and Air Force leaders have agreed to change the policies regarding reporting threats made by service members, according to a Department of War Office of the Inspector General report.

The review found that military service commanders were not required by policy to report service members who make threats against civilians or nongovernmental facilities to the service’s senior leadership, though there were rules for medical providers prior to the report. The services agreed to update their policies, per the report.
