The policy of the Department of the Navy, including the Marine Corps, is to deter and detect drug offenses by civilian and contract employees on military installations. Measures to be taken to identify drug offenses on military installations, and to prevent introduction of illegal drugs and paraphernalia include routine, random inspections of vehicles and personal possessions on entry or exit, with drug detection dog teams, when available. Where there is probable cause to believe that a civilian or contract employee on board a Naval or Marine Corps installation has been engaged in use, possession, or trafficking of drugs, that employee may be restricted or detained for the period necessary until that employee can be removed from the installation or can be turned over to local law enforcement authorities having jurisdiction, as appropriate. When illegal drugs are discovered during an inspection or search of a vehicle operated by a civilian or contract employee, the employee and vehicle may be detained for a reasonable period of time necessary to turn the employee and the vehicle over to appropriate civil law enforcement officials; action may be taken to suspend, revoke, or deny installation driving privileges. Implicit with the acceptance of this contract is the Contractor’s agreement to comply with Federal statues, laws, and regulations, including those regulations issued by the commander of the military installation.
