The 509 MSG/CC grants 509 SFS the authority to conduct examinations of vehicles and pedestrians without foundation for a search. These random checks are not based on probable cause that the vehicle or person possesses or contains contraband, but on 509 BW/CC or delegated authority to protect government property and security of the installation. The 509 MSG/CC will determine the formula to be used, the location, the number of vehicles to be checked and the start times for the checks. The times will be varied and individual vehicles will not be singled out. The formula will be provided to the Police Services, Staff Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) who will disseminate the information to the Police Services Desk (PSD). Note: O-6s and above while in uniform and operating GOVs are considered mission critical and are exempted from searches/detentions associated with routine Base Entry Point Checks and random antiterrorism vehicle inspections.
