The clearance came after the service reported it had corrected \u201cflaws\u201d that had let previous records slip through the cracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Department of Defense Inspector General found in 2014 that the Air Force \u2014 and all the other services \u2014 were not reporting criminal incident data in all cases to the Federal Bureau of Investigation as required by law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/media.defense.gov\/2014\/Oct\/29\/2001713419\/-1\/-1\/1\/DODIG-2015-011.pdf\" title=\"\">inspector general made recommendations<\/a> for each service.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/news\/your-military\/2017\/11\/08\/military-services-dodge-questions-about-29-year-old-crime-reporting-law\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"217\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-871767212.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Military services dodge questions about 29-year-old crime reporting law<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The military\u2019s crime reporting is in the spotlight this week in the aftermath of the Texas church shooting that killed 26 people.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, it recommended each service report accurate and complete information to the Defense Incident\u2011Based Reporting System, or DIBRS, which feeds into the FBI\u2019s crime information databases, within 15 working days after the end of each month. It also recommended that any DIBRS errors be corrected within 30 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Air Force, in response to the IG, reported back that it had taken corrective action. The Air Force Office of Special Investigations said it had \u201ccorrected the internal process flaw which allowed a lapse in reporting to occur.\u201d It also said that the Air Force now had procedures in place to have staff \u201ctrack the monthly data submissions to ensure [Office of Special Investigations] DIBRS data will be accurate and complete.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The inspector general closed those recommendations for the Air Force, meaning it had verified that the service had completed the corrective actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then, convicted former airman Devin Kelley killed 26 people in a Texas church Sunday with rifles he never should have been able to buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, the DoD IG is preparing to review all of the services\u2019 procedures again in the wake of the shooting, said Master Sgt. Dwrena Allen, a spokeswoman for the agency. Allen said the agency is still determining the scope of the review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since Sunday, as the full scope of the tragedy has become known and the Air Force realized that Kelley\u2019s criminal record had slipped through the reporting system, \u201cthe Air Force inspector general has talked to about 100 people involved in this case. We are looking at all of our databases, and if we have problems that we find, we\u2019ll fix them,\u201d Wilson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Air Force inspector general is separate from the DoD inspector general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Air Force\u2019s internal review includes a report, a draft of which is expected next week, detailing what procedural failures led to Kelley\u2019s criminal record not being added to the appropriate federal criminal databases. Correct reporting might have prevented him from obtaining a firearm because it would have surfaced during a background check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wilson did not say why Kelley\u2019s offenses were not reported, but she said it\u2019s the objective of an Air Force investigation to find out.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe do think that there was a problem,\u201d she said, but the extent of it has yet to be determined.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Separate from detailing how Kelley obtained his firearms, the Air Force is scrubbing its criminal reporting system databases, which Wilson said is \u201cthe harder issue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re working, actually, 24\/7 operations to go through that entire database. Initially, back to 2002, and then once that database is complete, we have another one that goes back to 1996, and that will take longer time,\u201d Wilson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The service began recording the files electronically in 2002, which is why the Air Force is starting there, she said. It will then go through all the paper records dating back to 1996.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wilson said there are a couple of different databases that house the information, including one maintained by the Office of Special Investigations and one by the Judge Advocate General Corps, which has all court-martial and command investigation outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur first look is going back electronically to those databases, looking at every case, and determine, were we in compliance with the regulatory guidance at the time?\u201d said Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Dave Goldfein. \u201cThat will give us an indication of the, sort of, the numbers we\u2019re dealing with. And then, we\u2019ll determine, \u2018OK, how far back, then, do we need to go?\u2019 Because once we go back beyond that, now we\u2019re in a manual review of these cases because they weren\u2019t electronic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Goldfein added that 12 of the 26 people killed in the attack had direct connections to the Air Force, &#8220;either members or with family ties.&#8221; He said he plans to visit the area next week.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>The Associated Press contributed to this
