Servicemember Safety and Security Act of 2021

The Servicemember Safety and Security Act of 2021 aims to improve how the military handles cases of missing or absent personnel by requiring a comprehensive review of current reporting procedures. Under this bill, military installations would be required to update their security protocols and prioritize notifying local and federal law enforcement as soon as a service member is discovered missing. For the public and military families, this would mean more standardized communication between military bases and civilian police, ensuring that search efforts for missing service members begin more quickly and involve broader law enforcement resources.
