Search authority.

Checkpoint personnel perform searches to apprehend suspects or
confiscate contraband only in areas within their military jurisdiction
(or where otherwise lawful).

Proper use of search procedures gains the respect and support of
the local population, enhances credibility, and demonstrates
impartiality. Conversely, misuse of search authority can undermine
the credibility of forces conducting operations in the area; it can also
affect future operations.

Checkpoint personnel must ensure that search procedures are
conducted in accordance with established guidelines and the
applicable ROE.

Conduct of the search.

All checkpoint personnel must thoroughly understand the
instructions issued for the conduct of searches. Instructions may
cover, but are not limited to, the following points:

Personnel, vehicles, and/or items allowed to pass through the
checkpoint.

Personnel and/or vehicles not allowed to pass through the
checkpoint.

Procedures for detaining vehicles or personnel.

Items to be confiscated.

Procedures for handling confiscated items.

Search rates.
Search operations are conducted slowly enough to allow
for a thorough search but rapidly enough to prevent the
insurgents from reacting to the threat of the search.

Use of force.
In accordance with established ROE, minimum essential
force is used to eliminate any active resistance
encountered during the search.

Courtesy.
Search personnel should remain polite and considerate
at all times.
