2.2.3. (Added) The 10th Security Forces Squadron (10 SFS) is responsible for traffic enforcement (i.e., traffic stops, etc.) on USAFA; however, due to USAFA’s concurrent jurisdiction, local law enforcement personnel (i.e., El Paso County Sheriff’s Office (EPSO), Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD), Colorado State Police (CSP), etc.) are authorized, by law, to assist with traffic enforcement.

2.2.3.1. (Added) The 10 SFS personnel may conduct traffic stops and inspections of any vehicle on USAFA for reasons specified in this instruction and other governing directives, or if they believe the vehicle is unsafe or not properly equipped, as required by law. If a 10 SFS member determines a vehicle is in such condition that further operation would be hazardous, the vehicle will be driven to the nearest garage, place of safety, or immediately removed from

USAFA. Should a 10 SFS entry controller detect a serious or hazardous violation, the vehicle will be denied entry to USAFA.

If the violator is later able to provide proof of insurance, points will be assessed for driving without proof of insurance. This table covers violators who are unable to provide proof of insurance coverage when the citation was issued.

2.5.4.1.1. (Added) Each case will be reviewed by the USAFA Staff Judge Advocate (HQ

USAFA/JA) and the 10 MSG/CC to make a final determination. Immediate suspension letters

AFMAN31-116_USAFASUP 6 APRIL 2018 5

are routed and approved by HQ USAFA/JA and signed by 10 MSG/CC and do not require individual case reviews or approval.

2.5.4.2. (Added) The 10 SFS will issue a written notice of suspension or revocation from 10

MSG/CC. The issued written notice specifies when the suspension/revocation becomes effective, which is 10 days after notification except for alcohol/drug related offenses, the period of time the suspension/revocation is effective for, and the administrative hearing and appeal process.

2.5.4.2.1. (Added) In the event an individual’s driving privileges have been suspended or revoked by 10 MSG/CC, active duty, including cadets and civilian-affiliated personnel, must report with their supervisor to 10 SFS/S5R to sign acknowledgement of the suspension/revocation.

2.5.4.2.1.1. (Added) Civilian-nonaffiliated personnel (retirees, dependents, etc.) will be contacted in person or by certified mail. If after three documented attempts, contact has not been made with the individual, the suspension/revocation is immediate and considered a “refusal to sign.”

2.5.4.3. (Added) Unit commanders may request the suspension or revocation of driving privileges of personnel under their command by forwarding a digitally signed e-mail memorandum with supporting evidence/documents through 10 SFS/S5R (333-2006) addressed to the 10 MSG/CC for approval and signature.

2.5.4.3.1. (Added) If the request is approved, the individual will be directed to report to 10

SFS/S5R to sign/acknowledge receipt by endorsing the 10 MSG/CC signed memorandum.

2.5.4.4.1. (Added) Administrative Appeal/Hearing Requests. For individuals not involved in an alcohol or drug related driving incident, a request for administrative appeal/hearing can be requested by submitting a USAFA Form 28, Appeal Request for Traffic-Related Offense.

Instructions for completing the form are included on the form. The suspension or revocation will not go into effect until a final determination is made by 10 MSG/CC.

2.5.4.4.1.1. (Added) Requests for administrative appeals/hearing are conducted by submitting a

USAFA Form 28 to 10 SFS/S5R. The 10 SFS/S5R will forward requests to the 10th Mission

Support Group, Executive Assistant (10 MSG/CCE), who will notify the individual of the hearing date.

2.5.4.4.1.3. (Added) Failure to appear for the scheduled hearing without notification and approval from 10 MSG/CCE may result in forfeiture of the privilege to an administrative hearing.

6 AFMAN31-116_USAFASUP 6 APRIL 2018

2.5.4.4.2. (Added) Submission of a request for a hearing will stay the pending suspension or revocation.

2.5.4.4.3. (Added) If a hearing is not held within a 10-day period, the suspension or revocation will not take place until the person is granted a hearing before the 10 MSG/CC.

10-day period, the suspension or revocation shall normally become effective immediately upon receipt of the written notification.

2.5.4.5. (Added) Restoration Requests. Members whose driving privileges have been suspended may request restoration of driving privileges pending investigation or resolution of the incident or have a dismissal of court case before the closing period by submitting a USAFA

Form 28 for an appeal to 10 SFS/S5R. The 10 SFS/S5R will forward the USAFA Form 28 to

HQ USAFA/JA for review and to 10 MSG/CC for final determination. The USAFA Form 28 must be received by 10 SFS/S5R no later than 10-calendar days following the date of receipt of the suspension or revocation letter.

2.5.4.6. (Added) A notice to suspend an individual's driving privileges for off-base suspensions/revocations will be administered by 10 SFS/S5R immediately following receipt of the off-base adjudication.

2.5.4.7. (Added) Reinstatement of Driving Privileges. Unit commanders who wish to reinstate driving privileges for personnel under their command must submit a USAFA Form 28 to 10

SFS/S5R who will forward to the 10 MSG/CC for consideration/approval.

5.4.1. (Added) Drivers witnessing “unsafe behaviors” while operating a motor vehicle on

USAFA are urged to pull over to the side of the road or wait until they are at their destination to call BDOC at 719-333-2000. A patrol will be dispatched to attempt to locate the unsafe subject driver to preserve safety and law and order.

5.4.2. (Added) Complainants will provide the following information to BDOC: make, model, license plate number/state, color of vehicle, description of driver (i.e., white male, juvenile, blond hair) location/direction of travel, and a description of violation observed.

Form 1168, Statement of Witness, Suspect, or Complainant. NOTE: Without an official complaint, no further action will be taken.

5.4.4. (Added) If an official complaint is desired, BDOC will instruct the complainant to report to BDOC, Building 8024, to complete an AF Form 1168. Upon receipt of an official complaint, if manpower permits, BDOC will dispatch a patrol to make contact with subject vehicle and temporarily detain.

5.4.5. (Added) If the patrolman witnesses the violation, then the patrolman can issue a citation to the subject driver; however, if the patrolman does not witness the violation, the subject driver will receive a “warning” DD Form 1408 from the patrolman with the same instructions for reporting as any DD Form 1408. The subject driver should be provided the opportunity to complete an AF Form 1168.

5.4.6. (Added) If no rebuttal is received, the driver is entered into SFMIS and points are assessed; however, no points are assessed for warning citations. This entry serves as an official record of driving history.

5.4.7. (Added) If the vehicle is unable to be stopped, a check through the Colorado Crime

Information System (CCIS) may reveal the name/address of the registered owner. The DD Form

1408 and Memorandum for Record (MFR) completed by the patrolman will be sent certified mail to the address and the ticket will be for the name of the primary registered owner as it appears on the CCIS transmission.

14 AFMAN31-116_USAFASUP 6 APRIL 2018

5.4.7.1. (Added) It should be understood, drivers other than the vehicle owner could have been driving the vehicle at the time of the infraction. Ensure the MFR includes the following statement, “These allegations can be rebutted, to the 10 SFS/S5R offices within 5 duty days of receipt.”

The SFMIS Reports will be digitally signed and returned by the commander to complete and close the file. If a unit commander or AOC cannot complete the action within the established suspense, they must request an extension in writing via e-mail to

10SFS.S5R@US.AF.MIL.

5.6.3. (Added) For moving violations which involve a formal appeal by the violator (USAFA

Form 28), the unit commander or AOC will maintain the electronic copy of the citation or report until final reports of action of the appeal have been forwarded.
