HR 2068 RFS
§ 1315. Special police
(a) APPOINTMENT.—The Administrator of General Services, or an official
of the General Services Administration authorized by the Administrator,
may appoint uniformed guards of the Administration as special police with-
out additional compensation for duty in connection with the policing of all
buildings and areas owned or occupied by the Federal Government and
under the charge and control of the Administrator.
(b) POWERS.—Special police appointed under this section have the same
powers as sheriffs and constables on property referred to in subsection (a)
to enforce laws enacted for the protection of individuals and property, pre-
vent breaches of the peace, suppress affrays or unlawful assemblies, and en-
force regulations prescribed by the Administrator or an official of the Ad-
ministration authorized by the Administrator for property under their juris-
diction. However, the jurisdiction and policing powers of special police do
not extend to the service of civil process.
(c) DETAIL.—On the application of the head of a department or agency
of the Government having property of the Government under its administra-
tion and control, the Administrator or an official of the Administration au-
thorized by the Administrator may detail special police for the protection
of the property and, if the Administrator considers it desirable, may extend
to the property the applicability of regulations and enforce them as provided
in this section.
(d) USE OF OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES.—When it is consid-
ered economical and in the public interest, the Administrator or an official
of the Administration authorized by the Administrator may utilize the facili-
ties and services of existing federal law enforcement agencies, and, with the
consent of a state or local agency, the facilities and services of state or local
law enforcement agencies.
(e) NONUNIFORMED SPECIAL POLICE.—The Administrator, or an official
of the Administration authorized by the Administrator, may empower offi-
cials or employees of the Administration authorized to perform investigative
functions to act as nonuniformed special police to protect property under
the charge and control of the Administration and to carry firearms, whether
on federal property or in travel status. When on real property under the
charge and control of the Administration, officials or employees empowered
to act as nonuniformed special police have the power to enforce federal laws
for the protection of individuals and property and to enforce regulations for
that purpose that the Administrator or an official of the Administration au-
thorized by the Administrator prescribes and publishes. The special police
may make arrests without warrant for any offense committed on the prop-
erty if the police have reasonable grounds to believe the offense constitutes
HR 2068 RFS
a felony under the laws of the United States and that the individual to be
arrested is guilty of that offense.
(f) ADMINISTRATIVE.—The Administrator or an official of the Adminis-
tration authorized by the Administrator may prescribe regulations necessary
for the government of the property under their charge and control, and may
annex to the regulations reasonable penalties, within the limits prescribed
in subsection (g), that will ensure their enforcement. The regulations shall
be posted and kept posted in a conspicuous place on the property.
(g) PENALTIES.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—Except as provided in paragraph (2), a person
violating a regulation prescribed under subsection (f) shall be fined
under title 18, imprisoned for not more than 30 days, or both.
(2) EXCEPTION FOR MILITARY TRAFFIC REGULATION.—
(A) DEFINITION.—For purposes of this paragraph, the term
‘‘military traffic regulation’’ means a regulation for the control of
vehicular or pedestrian traffic on military installations that the
Secretary of Defense prescribes under subsection (f).
(B) IN GENERAL.—A person violating a military traffic regula-
tion shall be fined an amount not exceeding the amount of the
maximum fine for a similar offense under the criminal or civil law
of the State, district, territory, or possession of the United States
where the military installation in which the violation occurred is
located, imprisoned for not more than 30 days, or both.
