SAPR Mission

The Tyndall AFB SAPR office provides 24/7 culturally competent, gender-inclusive and recovery-focused support, ensuring dignity and respect for all survivors. As the base continues to transform while becoming a rapidly growing 'Installation of the Future', we adapt by emphasizing professionalism, respect, and trust. Our targeted education, response, and advocacy efforts aim to maintain mission readiness and integrity in an evolving environment.

Sexual Assault is criminal conduct that violates the standards the United States of America expects of its men and women serving in the Air Force and Space Force and is inconsistent with the Air Force and Space Force core values.

 

Integrity First - Service Before Self - Excellence in All We Do.
