As each observation is unique, response times are not standardized.

They depend on:

• The volume of testimonies received.
• The time required to complete the investigation.

Once the file received, the observation is recorded under a GEIPAN case number, according to our specific nomenclature.

The witness then receives an acknowledgment of receipt, confirming that the testimony has been processed and officially recorded in our investigation database.

The witness is then informed that his observation has been assigned to a GEIPAN-approved investigator in charge of applying the investigation methodology.

Upon request, witness can be kept informed of the progress of the investigation, by email or post mail.

Witness will be systematically notified when the investigation is complete and ready for publication on cnes-geipan.fr.
