Section 7-3-9 - Sources of information
Current through February, 2024
A commanding officer may receive information from many sources that an offense has allegedly been committed by a member under the command of the commanding officer. For example:
(1) The commanding officer may witness an alleged offense;
(2) Someone within the unit may report an alleged offense;
(3) A report of investigation may bring the alleged offense to the commanding officer's attention; or
(4) A higher headquarters may forward a report for action. When a superior commanding officer asks that an allegation be investigated and the disposition reported, the request shall not be construed or interpreted as a directive to take disciplinary action. This section shall be read in conjunction with section 7-3-10(c).
