Article 32 of the Star Fleet Uniform Code of Military Justice [832.32,1-4], requires a thorough and impartial investigation of charges and specifications before they may be referred to a general court-martial (the most serious level of courts-martial). However, the accused may waive the Article 32 investigation requirement. The purpose of this pretrial investigation is to inquire into the truth of the matter set forth in the charges, to consider the form of the charges, and to secure information to determine what disposition should be made of the case in the interest of justice and discipline. The investigation also serves as a means of pretrial discovery for the accused and defense counsel in that copies of the criminal investigation and witness statements are provided and witnesses who testify may be cross-examined.</div><br> | Article 32 of the Star Fleet Uniform Code of Military Justice [832.32,1-4], requires a thorough and impartial investigation of charges and specifications before they may be referred to a general court-martial (the most serious level of courts-martial).

The SFSECIS Investigation Process begins when an allegation is made. An allegation can be made in a variety of ways. Most commonly, an individual will walk into an SFSECIS office and report a crime or will call the Command and report a crime, who, in turn, informs SFSECIS. Furthermore, SFSECIS will sometimes find out about an allegation from a Federation Law Enforcement counterpart (i.e. Federation Marshall’s Service).<br> | The SFSECIS Investigation Process begins when an allegation is made.
