Chapter 2Personnel Qualification and Selection

21. Basic character traitsBasic character traits of honesty, courtesy, tact, cooperation, per-sonal appearance, and bearing are important factors required of

civilian police and security guards. Personal qualities of good con-duct and character, integrity, dependability, and good mental andphysical fitness are also required of such personnel.

22. Qualification standardsArmy civilian police and security guards will be required to meetthe OPM qualification standards for the Police Series (GS083) orGuard Series (GS085). To ensure such personnel are qualified andcapable of performing their prescribed duties, local provost mar-shals, in close coordination with local CPOs, will develop job de-scriptions and performance standards that accurately describe theduties to be performed based on job analysis. OPM qualificationstandards for the Police Series, GS083 and Guard Series, GS085(TS 224, Feb 88, or later versions that may be approved by theOffice of Personnel Management including separate and approvedArmy standards), contain minimum qualification requirements forpolice and guard positions. Job-related functions, such as strenuousactivity, physical exertion, physical ability, and levels of stress asthey pertain to a specific job will be considered for both normal andemergency operations. Minimum physical requirements will be perthe Office of Personnel Management (OPM) qualification standards,the commands job analyses, and written performance plans citedabove, and will be standardized at each installation or activity. Morestringent physical demands will be supported by valid job analysesand written performance plans. In preparing job analyses, carefulconsideration must be given to whether or not waivers of physicaldemands can be considered. The physical agility test found in ST19138, chapter 1, may be used as a guide.

23. Employment security screening proceduresa. All applicants tentatively selected for appointment to Army

civilian police and security guard positions will be security screenedto the extent possible (for example, a minimum of a local filescheck) prior to being offered an appointment to such positions. Thetime period covered by the security screening will be the mostrecent 5 years, or since age 18, whichever is shorter, provided itcovers the most recent 2 years of the applicants life. No securitychecks are required prior to the applicants 16th birthday.

b. Preemployment inquires will be conducted by the local CPOand will include, at a minimum, checks with former employers,former supervisors, and personal references.

c. The local CPO will request the local provost marshal to con-duct a check of arrest and criminal history records (except where

prohibited by local and State law) of the State(s) in which anapplicant has resided during the most recent 5 years. Provost mar-shals will make the record checks through their supporting police orsheriffs department under the authorization of the Federal Bureauof Investigation (FBI) National Crime Information Center (NCIC).(See AR 19027.) Provost marshals will also request a recordscheck from the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command CrimeRecord Center (CRC). (See AR 19030.)

d. The provost marshal will forward the results of such inquiriesto the CPO with a recommendation to continue or discontinue theprocessing of the applicant.

e. The security screening requirements in a , b, and c above also

apply to contract security guard personnel, except that the contractorwill be responsible for conducting the security screening checks.The contracting officer, in conjunction with the provost marshal,will include in the solicitation/contract/statement of work, a require-ment that security guard personnel meet the suitability requirementsof this regulation as well as appropriate security clearance require-ments of AR 38067 or DOD 5220.22M, if applicable. The con-tractor will be required to furnish the contracting officer and provostmarshal a record of the results of each employees security screen-ing prior to entry on duty. In coordination with the contractor andcontracting officer, the provost marshal may conduct the arrest andcriminal history checks through the NCIC and CRC. If securityclearances are required for contract security guards, requests forinvestigations should be made to the supporting Defense Investiga-tive Services office. (See DOD 5220.22M.)

f. In addition to the requirements above, contract security guardsnot required to have security clearances will undergo a credit checkas part of the security guard services contract. Results of creditchecks will be furnished the contracting officer and provost marshal.The costs of all such checks and inquiries will be the responsibilityof the contractor unless the Government explicitly undertakes to payfor the requirement.

g. In addition to the employment security screening proceduresprescribed above, Army civilian police and security guard positionsare categorized as noncritical-sensitive, and require favorable com-pletion of a National Agency Check and Inquiry (NACI) prior toa p p o i n t m e n t t o s u c h p o s i t i o n s . ( S e e A R 3 8 0 6 7 a n d D O D5220.22M.)

(1) Filling a position before completion of the NACI will be keptto a minimum, but if absolutely necessary, an exception to AR

38067 must be authorized in writing by an authority listed in AR38067 or delegated authority, and will contain specific justifica-tion. The commander will be notified of all exceptions. In suchinstances, the position may be filled only after the NACI has beeninitiated.

(2) Certifying officials (discussed in chap 3) will implement atracking system to ensure that records of personnel hired under suchexceptions to policy are monitored. Results of the NACI will beforwarded to the certifying official on receipt by the CPO.

h. Commanders of outside continental United States (OCONUS)major Army commands (MACOMs) will establish necessary secu-rity screening procedures for security guard personnel to ensure thatthe spirit and intent of this regulation are met. The cooperation ofthe host country will be solicited.

i. All tentative selectees for appointment in the GS083, PoliceSeries and GS085, Guard Series will be required to undergo amedical examination (at Government expense) to determine thephysical qualifications, and the emotional and mental stability ofsuch individuals.

( 1) This re quirem en t also a ppli es to p er s onn el currently em-ployed in police and guard positions.

(2) Employees assigned to police and guard positions will bereexamined annually, at Government expense, to determine theircontinued physical and emotional suitability to perform the func-tional requirements of such positions.

(a) A copy of the OPM qualification standards and physicalstandards required for the position concerned (para 22), along witha copy of the requirements in this chapter, will be provided to the

2 AR 19056 21 June 1995


7/20

examining physician with SF 78 (United States Civil Service Com-mission Certificate of Medical Examination).

(b) To be finally selected, examinees must be medically certifiedto the appointing officer as eligible under such standards.

j. Administrative action, as determined by management in consul-tation with the servicing CPO and staff judge advocate labor coun-selor, will be taken in the case of currently employed Army civilianpolice and security guards who are determined by medical examina-tion to possess lasting physical conditions that, in the judgement ofcompetent medical authorities, constitute a health danger to them-selves or others when placed in circumstances involving arduousphysical exertion or a stressful situation, or will adversely effectperformance of assigned job duties.

k. In the case of contract security guards, the provost marshal, incoordination with the contracting officer and staff judge advocate(SJA) labor counselor, will prescribe in security guard services con-tracts or contractor statement of work, the specific qualificationstandards, including physical fitness, suitability, and medical exami-nation requirements, for such personnel. Medical examinations forcontract employees will not be conducted at Government expense.Medical examinations for contractor guards are a reimbursable ex-pense at GOCO installations. The standards will be those outlined inST 19138 and as found in the performance statement of work(SOW), dated 9 February 1981, (or later version) when issued bythe Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Research, Devel-opment, and Acquisition) (Contract Administration). The statementof work contains a standard format for security guards servicescontracts. Additionally, FM 1930, appendix G, contains guidanceand a sample contract for security guard services. Contracting of-fices, in coordination with provost marshals, will monitor hiringactions to ensure compliance with qualification standards. Proce-dures will be established for periodic review of personnel recordsfor contract security guards. The specific provisions of the contractmay include the requirement that Government personnel administeror monitor the contractors administration of required physical fit-ness testing. Depending on the size of the contract security guardforce and the complexity of its mission, the provost marshal or hisor her representative may be appointed as a contracting officerrepresentative or contracting officer technical representative.

l. The Individual Reliability Program (IRP) (as outlined in chap3) supplements the employment security screening requirements.

24. Drug abuse testinga. AR 60085 establishes the Civilian Employee Drug Testing

Program for certain selected Army employees working in critical jobs or classes of jobs. It includes guidance on Army civilian policeand security guards.

b. Contract security guards will be subject to the requirements ofAR 60085 on the same basis as Federally employed Army civilianpolice and security guards. These requirements will be incorporatedin any contract for security guard services.

25. Standards of appearanceCivilian police and security guard personnel will maintain highstandards of personnel appearance, as reasonably expected by thepublic served. (See AR 67010.)

Chapter 3Individual Reliability Program (IRP)

31. GeneralThis chapter establishes the IRP for Army civilian police and secu-rity guards, including contract security guards. The IRP provides ameans of assessing the reliability and suitability of individuals beingconsidered for employment, and provides for continuous assessmentof personnel assigned to civilian police and security guard positions.

32. ExemptionSecurity guards performing duties associated with nuclear (includingnuclear reactors) and chemical surety material are exempt from therequirements of this chapter. These personnel are covered under thePersonnel Reliability Program criteria and procedures in AR 505and AR 506. Contract security force personnel will be subject tothe work rules established by the responsible contractor regardingcounseling and employment. The individual may be terminated perthose rules and no right to counseling or further employment shallexist, except as provided for by the responsible contractor.

33. Policy

a. Personnel who are assigned to civilian police and securityguard positions will be required to maintain a high standard ofconduct at all times. The protection of many installations and activi-t i e s , p art i c ular l y th os e s t or i ng c l a s sif ied a nd sen sit i ve m a ter i a l ,depends heavily on these individuals. Personnel engaged in civilianpolice and security guard duties work with relatively little supervi-sion, and frequently in isolated locations.

b. Army assets must be safeguarded against the actions of un-trustworthy and emotionally unstable security personnel. All person-nel performing civilian police and security guard duties must becontinuously evaluated to determine if their character, trustworthi-ness, and fitness are consistent with the high standards expected ofthe law enforcement and security profession.

34. IRP applicability

The IRP is considered a condition of employment and applies toa. Prospective employees tentatively selected for civilian police

or security guard positions.

b. Employees currently in such positions.

c. Contract security guards.

35. IRP certifying officiala. The IRP certifying official will be the commander, or desig-

nated representative, charged with the maintenance of law and orderat an installation or facility. Commanders may designate the provostmarshal/security officer or CPO as the IRP certifying official. Theprovost marshal may in turn further delegate this function to ase nior ind ivi dual within t he pro vost m ar s hal /sec ur ity of fi ce. AtGOCO facilities, the plant manager may be delegated as the IRPcertifying official, and may, in turn, further delegate this function to

a senior individual within the contractor security department.b. The IRP certifying officials must make every effort to main-

tain frequent personal contact with persons performing duties underthe IRP.

c. Certifying officials will establish a system for periodic (at leastannual) review of employee records to ensure that any adverseinformation added to the file after initial certification is reviewedand considered.

(1) The certifying official will review available personnel recordsand those records obtained as the result of the employment securityscreening procedures (see chap 2) and make a suitability determina-tion. The purpose of this review is to determine if informationcontained in these records may preclude assignment or continuedassignment to civilian police or security guard positions.

(2) In the case of medical records, the procedures in paragraph

39 apply.

36. Reliability factorsa. The following reliability factors will be used by the certifying

official in making determinations with respect to an individualseligibility for employment, retention in sensitive duties, or eligibilityfor access to classified information.

(1) Loyalty.

(2) Foreign preference/connections.

(3) Security responsibility safeguards.

(4) Criminal misconduct.

(5) Mental or emotional disorders.

b. When, despite the presence of disqualifying factors, an indi-vidual is retained for duty in the IRP because of overriding evidence

of reliable performance of duty in a particular civilian police orsecurity guard position, the certifying official will record this infor-mation. A memorandum for record (MFR) clearly outlining the factsconsidered and the basis for the decision made, shall be prepared.

(1) A copy will be provided to the employee who will sign,acknowledging receipt and the fact that he or she may rebut thematters asserted within a reason able t ime (normally 5 workingdays).

(2) Both the MFR and any attached rebuttals will be placed inthe employees official personnel folder per c below.

c. Adverse information not already on record may be placed inthe employees official personnel folder only per current laws and

regulations. Forward the information to the servicing CPO for eval-uation and filing.

d. As soon as it is suspected that a disqualification may occur,the certifying official must contact the servicing CPO. The CPOmust be involved at the earliest. Coordination with the staff judgeadvocate labor counselor is the responsibility of the CPO.

38. Unreliability determinationa. An unreliability determination may be made at any time dur-

ing screening.b. Commanders who disqualify Army civilian employees from

the IRP will seek the advice of their servicing CPO for assistance in

placing or separating those employees. When personnel are dis-qualified from the IRP, this becomes a personnel action, and appro-priate guidance is found in civilian personnel regulations.

c. In the case of contract security guards, the contractor will berequired to replace any individual who is disqualified under the IRP.

39. Review of recordsThe certifying official will review available personnel records andthose records obtained as the result of the employment securityscreening procedures in chapter 2 for suitability determination.

The certifying officialwill also be advised of any prescribed medication that may detractfrom the individuals ability to perform assigned duties. When thecertifying official suspects that there is a medical condition that hasnot been discovered, or the medical finding is unclear, the certifyingofficial will consult the competent medical authority before makinga final determination.

c. The competent medical authority will make a recommendationto the certifying official on the reliability of the individual. The finaldecision will be made by the certifying official or, where appropri-ate, a reviewing official (designated by the commander concerned),

and will be based on a thorough review of pertinent information andconsultation with appropriate medical personnel and the CPO.

311. Certifying officials evaluationa. After the personnel and medical records are screened, the

312. Continuing evaluationa. Continuing evaluation of IRP personnel is essential. Any inci-

dent or problem that might be cause for temporary or permanentremoval from IRP duty must be promptly reported to the certifyingofficial. This is done by IRP personnel, supervisors, associates,personnel officers, and those who provide medical care and maintainmedical records. Any prescribed use of medication that may detractfrom the ability of a person to perform assigned duties must also bereported. Oral or telephone notice will be confirmed in writing.

b. The IRP is a commanders program. The commander musttherefore be aware of, and concerned with, the personal status of hisor her personnel at all times. In order for the IRP to work, total

team effort and interaction is necessary. Supervisors at all levelshave an inherent responsibility to inform the commander of all casesof erratic performance and poor judgement by personnel on or offduty that could affect on-the-job reliability. All personnel are re-sponsible for reporting behavior affecting reliability of their co-workers to their immediate supervisors.

c. To ensure that certifying officials are aware of patterns ofbehavior that may indicate unreliability, installations should estab-lish systems to incorporate reference counseling of employees inboth supervisor and employee records. These records will be period-ically reviewed by certifying officials.

d. If the commander becomes aware of behavior that may reflectadversely on an employees loyalty, as outlined in AR 38067, DAForm 5248R (Report of Unfavorable Information for Security De-termination) will be forwarded to the Commander, U.S. Army Cen-

tral Personnel Security Clearance Facility, ATTN: PCCFM, FortMeade, MD 207555250. A copy of DA Form 5248R is availableat the back of this regulation for reproduction purposes. It will bereproduced locally on 8 1/2 by 11-inch paper.

313. Temporary disqualificationWhen performance of duty may be impaired by the use of pre-scribed medication or short-term stress, the person will be immedi-ately restricted from civilian police or security guard duties. Theemployee will be assigned duties which do not conflict with thiscondition, or if no such duties are available within the work unit,management will coordinate with CPO to find other suitable dutiesto which the employee can be temporarily detailed.

314. Contractor requirementsa. The requirements of this chapter will be incorporated in all

contracts for security guard contracts or statement of work for con-tract security guard services. Contracts will be updated as needed tocomply with substantive changes to this regulation.

b. The contract will require that contract employees performingsecurity guard duties meet the reliability standards of the IRP. Con-tractors will

(1) Instruct contract personnel on the purpose, standards, andprocedures of the IRP, and on physical fitness and agility standards.

(2) Instruct each employee that assignment to a security guardposition is subject to the standards and procedures of the IRP.

(3) Ensure that employees assigned, or to be assigned, to a secu-rity guard position have the required medical examinations andevaluations.

(4) Provide for sufficient observation by contract security person-nel of employees assigned to security guard positions.

(5) Give the results of a medical evaluation of any contract em-ployees assigned, or to be assigned, to a security guard position tothe certifying official. Promptly report any data about employeesthat is relevant to assignment, retention, or disqualification under theIRP.

(6) Assign to security guard positions only those employees whoare found by the certifying official to be eligible.

(7) Promptly on notice of information that is, or appears to be,reason for disqualification, temporarily remove an employee from asecurity guard position, and inform the certifying official promptlyof the action and the reason.

(8) Promptly inform the proper activities so that entry control and

a c c e s s l i s t s m a y b e u p d a t e d t o b a r r e m o v e d o r d i s q u a l i f i e dpersonnel.

(9) Immediately suspend an employee from a security guard po-sition when the certifying official informs the contractor that theemployee has been temporarily removed from the IRP.

(10) Remove the employee when informed that he or she isunacceptable because of failure to meet reliability standards and hasbeen permanently disqualified.

41. GeneralThe effectiveness of a security force is influenced by the quality ofits training program. Effective training depends on leadership, imag-inative planning, and efficient use of resources.

42. Training and qualification policyEach individual who performs civilian police and security guardtasks or duties will, prior to assignment, be trained and qualified toperform such tasks or duties, per guidance in ST 19138 and localrequirements.

43. Contract security guardsSecurity guard services contracts or contractor statement of workwill include training and qualification requirements appropriate to

assigned job tasks or duties per guidance in ST 19138 and localrequirements.

44. DocumentationThe training and qualifications of each individual will be docu-mented by the training manager or training supervisor. These docu-ments will be readily available for review and inspection. In thecase of contract security guards, such documentation will be madeavailable to the responsible provost marshal for review and approvalprior to assignment of the contract security guard. Contractor train-ing courses and supporting material will be available for the provostmarshals review.

45. Minimum training standardsa. Training standards will conform, as local requirements dictate,

to the performance-oriented tasks, conditions, standards, supportingskills and knowledge, and performance measures contained in ST19138. Installation commanders should use this publication, inconjunction with local threat analyses and job requirements, to de-sign their local training program.

51. GeneralThis chapter prescribes the authority of civilians performing lawenforcement or security functions on Army installations.

52. Authoritya. Federally-employed civilian police and security guards perfor-

ming law enforcement and security duties authorized by the installa-tion commander, and contract guards performing security duties,may apprehend any persons found on the installation for offenses

committed on post that are felonies, breaches of the peace, or other-wise a threat to property or welfare. Such apprehension authority islimited to issuing citations and turning the subject over to the appro-priate civilian or military authorities.

b. Civilian police and security guard personnel, while on duty atan installation, are considered part of the Army, and are thereforesubject to the restrictions on aid to civilian law enforcement im-posed by section 1385, title 18, United States Code, commonlyknown as the Posse Comitatus Act. Accordingly, any proposed aidto civilian law enforcement must be reviewed by the servicing SJA.

c. The authority and liability of civilian security guards overseaswill depend on applicable international agreements and local law.

Thus, the advice of OCONUS SJAs will be sought regarding thestatus of such personnel.

53. Written instructionsThe provost marshal, in conjunction with the SJA, will providewritten instructions for Army civilian police and security guardsdescribing procedures and the limits of their authority. Such instruc-tions will include the limits for apprehension or detention and thelimits on the use of force, to include reaction force and hostagesituations.
