Titling occurs when a military investigative service names an individual as a subject in a criminal investigation report. It is not a judicial or legal action and does not mean an individual has been arrested, charged or convicted of a crime. The ramifications of being titled, however, can be far reaching and damaging for the service member, impacting promotional, security clearance and military assignment decisions. The titling can even impact the service member after their military career is over – impacting future civilian employment. Steve Shewmaker and Mickey Williams of the Law Firm Shewmaker & Lewis discuss titling, how it can impact service members and what you should do if you’ve been titled.
