What action is triggered by the issuance of a Letter of Intent (LOI)?

The issuance of a Letter of Intent (LOI) signifies that there are potential security concerns or issues regarding a member that necessitate further investigation. This triggers a review of the member's overall security record to evaluate the various factors that may impact their security clearance or suitability for duty. The goal of this review is to gather comprehensive information and assess whether the concerns raised by the LOI are valid and significant enough to warrant further action, such as revocation of clearance or additional security measures.

This is a critical procedural step in maintaining the integrity of security protocols, as it ensures that all relevant information about a member’s background, behavior, and circumstances is taken into consideration before making decisions that could impact their career and the organization’s security posture.
