32 C.F.R. § 635.19 Offense codes.
Title 32 - National Defense
(a) The offense code describes, as nearly as possible, the complaint or offense by using an alphanumeric code. Appendix C of AR 190–45 lists the offense codes that are authorized for use within the Army. This list will be amended from time to time based on new reporting requirements mandated by legislation or administrative procedures. MACOM commanders and installation provost marshals will be notified by special letters of instruction issued in numerical order from HQDA, Office of the Provost Marshal General (DAPM–MPD–LE) when additions or deletions are made to list. The COPS MPRS module will be used for all reporting requirements. (b) MACOMs and installations may establish local offense codes in category 2 (major Army command and installation codes) for any offense not otherwise reportable. Locally established offense codes will not duplicate, or be used as a substitute for any offense for which a code is contained for other reportable incidents. Category 2 incidents are not reported to the Director, USACRC or the DOJ. If an offense occurs meeting the reporting description contained in Appendix C of AR 190–45, that offense code takes precedence over the local offense code. Local offense codes may be included, but explained, in the narrative of the report filed with the USACRC. Use the most descriptive offense code to report offenses. (c) Whenever local policy requires the provost marshal to list the subject's previous offenses on DA Form 3975, entries will reflect a summary of disposition for each offense, if known.
