Which statement about SHARP reports is true?

Which statement about SHARP reports is true?

• A. There are two types: Restricted and Unrestricted
• B. There are three types
• C. There are four types
• D. There are five types

Answer: (A)

SHARP reports come in two forms: restricted and unrestricted. A restricted report keeps details confidential and does not automatically trigger an official investigation, while still providing access to medical care, counseling, advocacy, and safety planning. The survivor can choose to convert a restricted report to an unrestricted one if they want the incident formally investigated. An unrestricted report, on the other hand, initiates an official investigation by the command and may involve law enforcement, with information shared as part of that process. Because SHARP defines these two distinct reporting paths, the statement that there are two types is correct.
