How should you handle forged documents at base entry?

• A. Do not admit or accept; report to supervisor, document the incident, and coordinate with authorities for verification.
• B. Accept if looks real; to avoid delays.
• C. Detain the individual indefinitely.
• D. Return the document to sender.

Answer: (A)

Treat forged documents as a security incident and follow established escalation procedures rather than trying to verify them on the spot. Do not admit or accept the document. Instead, notify your supervisor, secure the document, and document the encounter with details like time, location, description of the document, and the person presenting it. Coordinate with base security or law enforcement to verify authenticity and determine the next steps. This approach protects access control integrity and supports a proper investigation; accepting forged documents or attempting to process them could compromise security, while delaying action or detaining someone indefinitely isn’t appropriate or authorized.
