Introduction Chapter 1

A. Organization There are two types of AFOSI units: headquarters and detachments. Each has varying missions and facility requirements. This guide will describe the different types of AFOSI units and the facilities they require.

Headquarters include field investigations region units that align with major commands (MAJCOMs) and field inves-tigations squadrons that align with numbered air forces (NAFs) located overseas. Headquarters exercise command and control over detachments and act as directorates at the MAJCOM and NAF headquarters.

A detachment can be a specialist unit, an investigative unit, or a combination of both. Specialist detachments provide computer crime, forensic, polygraph, surveillance, and covert operations support to geographic areas encom-passing several states. Each Air Mobility Command (AMC) base has an investigative detachment to conduct criminal investigations and counterintelligence operations for the wing commander.

Air Mobility Command is supported by the 3d Field Investigations Region (3 FIR) and its detachments. See Figure 1-A for an overview of the organizational structure of 3 FIR.

B. Purpose This guide provides the basic criteria to organize, evaluate, plan, program, and design investigative facilities on AMC bases. The information is intended to make commanders and their staffs aware of important design considerations and to aid them in project development. Investigative facilities must present a quality environment that conveys an atmosphere of professionalism in which customers feel comfortable while receiving quality assistance.

This guide is for use by commanders, base civil engineers, headquarters staffs, design architects and engineers, and others involved in investigative facility design and construc-tion. It is intended to help all participants better understand investigative facility requirements and design criteria so they can effectively participate in the project development process. Use this guide to supplement other Air Force and Department of Defense policies and instructions.

C. Project Development The key elements to successful facility delivery are planning, programming, design, and construction.

1. Planning Effective planning will establish and support the overall objectives for investigative facilities. It should also lead to a timetable for project completion. Planning must be long-term.

The siting of investigative facilities is important.

Headquarters 3 FIR is collocated with Headquarters AMC. Although not mandatory, it is advantageous to locate detachments near the wing commanders and key support personnel such as the base staff judge advocate, chief of personnel, and chief of security police. If possible, keep the detachments independent from other buildings to help protect the identity of victims, witnesses, suspects, and potential informants.

When planning a new facility, site selection should be accomplished prior to completing a DD Form 1391, Military Construction Project Data.

2. Programming Programming includes determining user requirements, developing solutions, identifying funding sources, and forwarding programming documents to the appropriate review and approval authorities. Each programmed project should be consistent with the base comprehensive plan for new and existing facilities. Work is classified as mainte-nance, repair, or construction.

Information required during preparation of the DD Form 1391, which initiates project development, is found throughout this guide. Included are considerations of space criteria, overall facility size, and special factors for use in estimating costs.

3. Design Design includes concept development, design reviews, and final design drawings and specifications. It is impor-tant for civil engineering and the user to actively communicate throughout the design process to bring about a successful project.

Life safety code requirements take precedence over other facility improvement requirements. All areas should be barrier free and accessible to the disabled in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards(UFAS).

Complete a comprehensive interior design (CID) standard for the investigative facility in conjunction with any major design project. The CID standard addresses interior finishes, artwork, signs, and furnishings. It ensures that even small upgrade projects meet the design objectives for the entire facility. Refer to the AMC Interior Design Guide for an expanded discussion of interior design.

Integration of engineering, architectural, and interior design considerations during project development creates a well coordinated interior design. Analyze an existing facility’s structural, electrical, communications, and mechanical systems before planning interior design upgrades. Include infrastructure improvements concurrently with interior finish work.

4. Construction Quality reviews of the contractor’s submittals by project engineers and daily on-site inspections by civil engineering construction management personnel and the user will help ensure design goals are met. ■

Exterior Elements

A. General The investigative facility exterior elements provide the first impression visitors have of the facility and should project an image of quality service. This chapter addresses the concept site plan, landscaping, signs, parking areas, entries and entry paths, lighting, and radio antenna. The Arch-itectural Compatibility Plan for each base will help in the design of these elements.

B. Landscaping Landscaping elements help create a quality appearance for people entering an investigative facility. These elements screen parking areas, provide security, add visual interest, and define the building entries. Landscaping elements include earth berms, shrubs and trees, pavement materials, site amenities, lighting, and signs. Refer to the AMC Landscape Design Guide for specific information.

C. Signs Include the facility, directional, parking, and flammable code signs. They must comply with the AMC sign stan-dards. See AFM 91-201, Explosives Safety Standards, to determine if fire symbol signs are required on the outside of the building.

D. Parking Areas All investigative facilities require parking areas for visitors, employees, and official vehicles.

♦ Locate visitor parking close to the main entrance and clearly mark visitor and handicapped spaces.

♦ Official vehicles must be parked near the facilities for immediate access by investigative personnel and should be kept separate from visitor vehicles. Use landscaping to conceal this parking area from public view to avoid compromising investigative operations.

Combine employee and official vehicle parking for security purposes.

The Concept Site Plan, Figure 2-A, page 3, illustrates the effective use of dedicated parking areas near the facility entries. Include reserved spaces for the commander and others designated in local directives.

E. Entries and Entry Paths The facility entries and entry paths should be easily identi-fiable to first-time visitors. The main entry should have an overhang to protect visitors from the weather.

Design the entries to allow simultaneous transit of crime victims, witnesses, and suspects in and out of the facility while avoiding inadvertent contact.

Include electronic intrusion detection devices on all exterior doors and windows.

F. Lighting Provide photo-cell controlled lighting for safety and secu-rity in all parking areas and walkways. Install additional lighting outside the garage and rear entrance for loading and unloading equipment at night. Use lighting to enhance safety and security at night.

G. Radio Antenna The radio antenna must be accessible but not detract from the facility’s appearance. Locate the radio antenna away from the prominent views of the facility and use landscap-ing around the base of the radio antenna. Acceptable fencing is recommended in each base’s Architectural Compatibility Guide.

H. Vault Windows For existing facilities that have evidence and weapons vaults on the building perimeter, fill the window(s) with concrete masonry units (CMUs) and finish to match the facility. Do not use exposed bars for security. ■

Functional Areas Chapter 3

A. Administration Areas

1. General This chapter addresses space requirements within inves-tigative facilities. Headquarter facilities primarily have administrative offices, but detachments require a combi-nation of administrative offices and special use areas to carry out the investigative mission.

The AFOSI assists wing commanders in their responsibili-ties for dealing with major crimes, security concerns, and force protection issues that affect Air Force resources. A waiting area should be available for visitors arriving early for appointments. Visitors must then be escorted beyond the waiting area to the appropriate office.

2. Staff Offices The staff is made up of a combination of civilian, active duty, and Air Force Reserve personnel. The number and size of staff offices will be different at the headquarters and detachments. Personnel associated with these organizations are commanders, vice commanders, branch chiefs, special agents, specialists, investigators, and support staff.

The commander’s office should be large enough to seat four to six staff members or visitors. Special agent offices will require comfortable accommodations to conduct investiga-tive interviews with three visitors. Furnish all staff offices with systems furniture to the greatest extent possible. Use free-standing wood furniture for the commander, vice com-mander, and secretary and locate these offices in close proximity to each other.

3. Conference Room This room should present a warm and professional image appropriate for the reception of distinguished visitors and staff officers. Conveniently locate the conference room near the commander and visitor waiting area. Provide a column-free room with variable seating arrangements for staff meetings, briefings, training sessions, joint investigations, and special meetings.

The room must be capable of accommodating teleconfer-encing equipment, video cassette recorder, television, and an overhead projector without sacrificing attendee seating.

Coordinate furnishings with interior finishes.

Use systems furniture in staff offices for effective space utilization.

Adjoin the conference room with the break room and locate it close to the rest rooms to limit corridor activity during training sessions and investigations. Provide counters and cabinets for guests to store brief cases and personal portfolios during all-day sessions. The conference room in a specialist detachment is commonly used for training agents from sev-eral investigative detachments. Provide a movable wall in a specialist detachment conference room to allow simultane-ous conferences and training sessions.

4. Operations/Training Room This room functions primarily as an operational command post for controlled surveillance and apprehension missions.

Design as a centralized work room to support daily opera-tional activities and periodic agent training. This room also requires space to set up the portable Firearms Training System (FATS) with minimal furniture rearrangement.

Centrally locate offices around this room to keep key staff members accessible during controlled surveillance and appre-hension missions. Dedicate sufficient wall space to display base and local area maps, in addition to a dry erase board and a projection screen.

This room should have sufficient space for mobilization augmentee(s) or additional staff needed to assist with investigations or major “task force” operations.

The conference room may be used for training or conferences.

FUNCTIONAL AREAS

5. Visitor Waiting Area This is the first area inside the main entry, adjacent to the receptionist. This area should be an open space that will accommodate four to six visitors and a display rack for information pamphlets. The following requirements apply to detachments.

◆ Provide a large bulletproof glass window between the waiting area and the receptionist.

◆ Protect walls with bulletproof materials that are not appar-ent to visitors.

◆ In an investigative detachment, locate a secure waiting room adjacent to the visitor waiting area.

◆ Include a remote release cipher lock, controlled by the receptionist, to prevent unauthorized access to the other areas of the facility.

6. Administration Support Room Centrally locate this room near the staff offices. Include built-in mail and staff distribution boxes. Provide counter space for a copy machine, fax, and network printers.

B. Special Use Areas

1. General Investigative facilities have special use areas for sensitive activities. Construct these areas to maintain security and confidentiality. Consider including enhanced electronic security devices, such as intrusion/motion detectors, in the evidence vault and weapons vestibule and vault.

2. Secure Visitor Waiting Room Use this room for people awaiting the results of polygraph testing, individuals under investigation and awaiting inter-view, and to separate suspects from other visitors and ongoing detachment operations. This separate waiting area helps to maintain security, protect the integrity of investigations, and avoid compromising the facts and circumstances surrounding a criminal inquiry. Provide a special bench bolted to the floor for handcuffed individuals being forcibly detained. Design access to the secure visitor waiting room and corridors to help prevent victims and suspects from making contact.

3. Polygraph/Interview Rooms and Observation Room

Use these rooms to conduct and observe polygraph examinations and interviews in a private and professional environment, free of distractions. These rooms may be prefabricated modules assembled within an existing room or built in as part of the facility. Provide environmental con-trols in each room to ensure interviewees are comfortable and promote accurate testing. Each detachment facility should have at least two polygraph/interview rooms.

Locate the observation room between the polygraph/inter-view rooms. It requires sufficient space for a small table, two chairs, and audiovisual recording and monitoring equipment. Provide one-way glass windows that share common walls with the polygraph/interview rooms for monitoring interviews. Include an unobtrusive audio and video taping capability behind the one-way window.

The visitor waiting area should provide a comfortable setting.

Polygraph/interview rooms require one-way glass windows for monitor-ing polygraph exams and interviews from the observation room.

At least one polygraph/interview room must have direct access to the secure visitor waiting area. Polygraph/inter-view rooms should be large enough to comfortably accom-modate four chairs and a table. Install duress alarms and secure rooms with locks to prevent unauthorized entry into the polygraph/interview rooms.

4. Evidence Vault Use this vault to store and protect evidence. It is one of the most critical areas within the investigative facility and must be secured to prevent unauthorized entry and tamper-ing. Include a steel door and frame with a dead-bolt lock and security hinges, plaster ceiling, concrete block floor-to-ceiling walls, and intrusion and motion detector alarm systems. Seal windows if unable to locate the vault in an interior space.

The vault should have separately labeled cubicles, with shelves, lockers, bins, and safes to store evidence. Furnish with a work bench to process evidence. Install a water faucet with a hose and a floor drain to allow people to clean evidence and wash hands. Also install a rack for air drying evidence.

Include an independent ventilation system and storage containers for hazardous materials (e.g., blood-soaked clothing, chemicals, etc.) and a refrigerator for perishable items. Provide a safe for storage of classified materials.

Install a built-in overnight depository system similar to those used in financial institutions for use after duty hours.

5. Weapons Vestibule and Vault The vestibule and vault are two separate rooms for the secure storage of weapons. Equip the vestibule with indi-vidual lockers for each issued weapon, a cleaning counter with proper ventilation, and a safety loading/unloading barrel. Include a hazardous materials storage cabinet for solvent and cleaning materials. Equip the vault with racks for rifles and shotguns and include a safe for submachine guns. Seal windows if unable to locate the weapons vestibule and vault in an interior space.

Security requirements for the weapons vestibule and vault are identified in AFI 31-209, Resources Protection Program. The level of vault security may be different at each facility because different weapons could be stored at each location.

Artist’s illustration of an evidence vault. The weapons vestibule is a room to clear, clean and store handguns in an easily accessible location.

6. Secure Storage Room This room provides secure storage of crime scene kits, drug testing kits, fingerprint equipment, night vision devices, photo equipment, bomb and arson evidence collection containers, environmental crime protective gear, and other highly pilferable investigative equipment. Use high-density, space-saver shelving to provide efficient storage capability.

7. Computer Room This room houses the local area network (LAN) file servers and global information network system (GINS).

This room is where computer technicians can also repair and set up computers for employees’ offices. There should be space allocated for storing equipment, hardware, and supplies. Include a zoned environmental control system.

8. Computer Crime Lab This lab is used for the analysis of computer hardware and software in conjunction with criminal investigations.

Include a computer work bench and storage space for hard-ware, software manuals, and accessories.

9. Forensic Science Lab This lab is for studying the scientific and medical aspects of criminal investigations (e.g., fingerprints, tool marks, blood stains, etc.). Include a work bench with a stainless steel counter, storage cabinet for various crime scene and training materials, and a small refrigerator.

10. Technical Services Operations These areas are used to operate, test, fabricate, and main-tain technical investigative equipment in support of covert operations (e.g., eavesdropping, wiretapping, surveillance, etc.). Although this area includes office space for the chief and staff, its most critical functions are performed in the following specialized laboratories.

◆ The electronics lab is for testing, troubleshooting, calibrating, and storing state-of-the-art portable electronic equipment.

◆ The fabrication lab is for the fabrication of custom concealment structures used in the field. It contains numerous metal and woodworking tools, stock materi-als, and work benches.

◆ The majority of photos processed in the photographic lab are sensitive investigative products needed for ongoing counterintelligence operations or criminal investigations. Provide two separate rooms within this space. The first room is a white light print finish-ing area to store documents and pictures vital to the investigative process. The second room is the film and print darkroom. Provide a safe-light revolving door between the two rooms to prevent inadvertent damage to unexposed film. The dark room requires recessed safe-lights with interchangeable filters, a stain-resistant floor with drain, wall-to-wall counter space with ample receptacles, and a stainless steel sink with filtered hot and cold water. Locate the lab within the interior space of the building.

The photographic lab requires highly reflective finishes to increase visibility even with low lighting levels.

The electronics labs should have durable finishes and space to allow technicians to work on various projects simultaneously.

The garage is used for the installation and maintenance of surveillance equipment in investigative special purpose vehicles. Equip the garage with supplemental heaters and a carbon monoxide-activated ventilator system.

C. Support Areas

1. General Support areas include the break room, storage rooms, rest rooms, mechanical room, electrical/communication room, and janitor’s closet.

2. Break Room Include seating for enjoying snacks and relaxing. Equip this room with a refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, and sink with hot and cold water. Locate the break room so it is adjacent to the conference room to help prevent unescorted visitors from entering other areas of the facility during breaks.

3. Storage Rooms Provide space for administrative supply products, informational pamphlets, booklets, maps, video tapes, and equipment. Additional dedicated space may be required for the storage, maintenance, and inspection of mobility bags, and other contingency deployment gear, depending on the availability of base supply facilities and local procedures.

4. Rest Rooms Locate rest rooms in the administration area for the investigative and professional staff. Include a single shower and lockers in each rest room. The showers are necessary for personnel to use after crime scene searches and evidence processing.

◆ Men’s rest rooms should include toilets, urinals, sinks, partitions, mirrors, soap dispensers, toilet paper dispensers, a weighing scale, a shelf for caps and small items, and waste receptacles.

◆ Women’s rest rooms should include the same acces-sories as the men’s, excluding urinals, but including sanitary napkin dispensers and disposal.

In facilities where detachments are collocated with other organizations, joint use of rest rooms with non-investiga-tive units is discouraged. Joint use could compromise suspect or informant confidentiality and allow undesirable exposure for victims of crimes.

5. Mechanical Room Investigative facilities contain many areas that require quiet consultation. Provide sound insulation in this room to pre-vent noise from disrupting operations. This room should be in an area away from administration areas, especially the training, conference, polygraph/interview rooms, and tech-nical services laboratories. Include a double service door to the exterior and a concrete ramp for the convenient moving of large equipment and parts into the room.

Agents need showers in the rest rooms for use after investigative operations.

Consider high-density shelving units for efficient storage.

Interior Standards A. General A quality investigative facility reflects a standard of “understated excellence” and creates an environment where professionals can provide quality service. Select finishes for cost effectiveness and life cycle maintenance, as well as appearance. Interior finishes that are durable and easy to maintain are essential to user satisfaction.

Quality interiors provide an environment which improves job performance, conveys professionalism, and maintains security in the workplace.

B. Color Concepts Designers should give special attention to color selection and provide a timeless color scheme. Use accent colors sparingly to complement a neutral color scheme.

Select neutral colors for carpets, wallcoverings, and systems furniture wall panels. Incorporate accent colors in uphol-stery, graphics, borders, accessories, and artwork for design scheme consistency.

C. Floor Coverings Consider carpet tile for high-use areas such as corridors, waiting areas, and training rooms. Avoid stripes and linear designs that are hard to line up with walls in corri-dors, vestibules, or irregularly shaped areas. Select multi-colored or solid color carpet in darker shades for offices and interview rooms. Use sheet vinyl or vinyl composition tile in storage rooms and selectively in special use areas where equipment movement and lab requirements may warrant

it. Provide ceramic tile floors in rest rooms. Use sealed concrete floors in non-public rooms, including the janitor’s closets, mechanical/electrical/communications rooms, and the garage.

D. Wallcoverings Use vinyl wallcovering, acoustic wallcovering, ceramic tile, and paint finishes for ease of maintenance and to present a less institutional appearance. Use ceramic wall tile in rest rooms. Where appropriate, include chair rails to protect walls from furniture.

E. Ceilings Use suspended acoustical ceiling tile with a revealed edge finish. A standardized 2’ x 2’ tile is recommended as the consistent module throughout the facility. A water resis-tant gypsum board ceiling works well with water-resistant paint finishes in rest rooms.

F. Window Coverings Vertical blinds and miniblinds filter daylight and allow outdoor views. Use lined draperies to block daylight in the conference and operations/training rooms for visual presentations. Draperies also create a comfortable envi-ronment for visitors and are appropriate for use in the visitor waiting area. Window coverings are essential for security from external observation.

Furnish the conference room with a table and chairs that coordinate with interior finishes.

INTERIOR STANDARDS

G. Accessories Framed artwork, wall murals, and live or professional quality silk plants complement the interior finishes and reinforce the design scheme. Choose only professionally framed pictures, paintings, and awards that contribute to the facility’s decor.

H. Signs Develop an interior sign plan as part of the comprehensive interior design. See AFM 91-201, Explosives Safety Standards, to determine if fire symbol signs are required on the inside of the building. Use professionally made signs, appropriately sized for the viewing distance, and compatible with the facility design scheme.

I. Systems Furniture This furniture includes interchangeable wall panels, panel hung desks, and storage modules which are combined to form office work stations. These stations allow for a recon-figuration of office areas. Design offices with systems furniture that easily integrates computer hardware.

Systems furniture panels should incorporate integrated conduits and raceways for electrical and communications service to hide unsightly wires and cables. Sound absor-bent fabric panels will reduce background noise and provide a quiet work area. Finish work surfaces in plastic laminate or wood.

Systems furniture should be used in all staff offices except the commander’s area. Integrate systems and free standing furniture during comprehensive interior design development.

J. Lighting Natural and artificial lighting are important factors in creating a quality interior appearance. Lighting affects the perception of space, as well as the color of interior finishes.

Design lighting to enhance the design scheme.

The designer should provide natural and accent lighting in waiting areas and administration areas. Include task light-ing at office desks. Use high-efficiency florescent lighting in lieu of incandescent lighting. Lighting should be suffi-cient for video teleconferencing in the conference room.

K. Communications Provide telephone and computer wiring to support voice, data, visual, and security/fire alarm systems. Equip the facility with the capability for intercom, public address system, cable television, defense systems network (DSN), global information network system (GINS), on-base lines, and local area network (LAN) connections.

The designer should contact the base civil engineer and the base communications unit for specific communi-cations requirements before planning major building upgrades or modifications. Incorporate these internal and external requirements in building design and modifi-cation specifications. Incorporate the radio antenna’s cable into the infrastructure considerations.

L. Wall Construction For secure areas, filled Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU) walls are standard. Painted CMU walls are acceptable in the weapons vault, but not in administrative areas — they require vinyl or acoustic wallcoverings (see table 4-A, page 17). Where wall thickness must be minimized, use ballistic resistant material with a gypsum board finish. For secure ceiling requirements, use secure lath and plaster with a smooth sand finish. ■

Modular systems furniture can be set up in different configurations to suit the needs of the user.
