to monitor and enhance the safety and security of Peace Corps

Country Director, the Peace Corps Medical Officer or a staff person 
designated by the Country Director, and submitted electronically. Peace 
Corps uses this information to evaluate the circumstance of crimes 
committed against Peace Corps Volunteer and to make changes in 
training, site selection and policy as related to the safety of the 
Volunteer. The information furnished to the Office of Inspector General

within the agency and replace a less comprehensive form that was 
previously submitted manually.
