Law Enforcement Investigation Timeline: What Soldiers Need to Do While Waiting

How long is the law enforcement investigation timeline, and what should you do in the meantime? In this video, the Law Office of Will M. Helixon breaks down what happens during prolonged military investigations by CID, NCIS, or other investigatory commands, and how service members can protect themselves while waiting for results. Some investigations last well over a year, and soldiers are rarely told when a decision will come.

From the moment you're notified that you're under investigation, what you do next matters. We cover how long these investigations typically last, what to expect, and why working closely with an experienced military attorney is critical to defending your career and future
