- P8 (Basic Special Victims Investigator (BSVI)) is an Army Additional Skill Identifier (proponent: U.S. Army Military Police School (USAMPS)), effective 2023-02, not a standalone military occupation.
- Authority scope: "There are no positions identified for ASI P8." Award requirement: "Must successfully complete the USAMPS Sexual Assault Investigations Course (SAIC)."
