Sec. 634.26  Traffic law enforcement principles.

    (a) Traffic law enforcement should motivate drivers to operate 
vehicles safely within traffic laws and regulations and maintain an 
effective and efficient flow of traffic. Effective enforcement should 
emphasize voluntary compliance by drivers and can be achieved by the 
following actions:
    (1) Publishing a realistic traffic code well known by all personnel.
    (2) Adopting standard signs, markings, and signals in accordance 
with NHSPS and the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets 
and Highways.
    (3) Ensuring enforcement personnel establish courteous, personal 
contact with drivers and act promptly when driving behavior is improper 
or a defective vehicle is observed in operation.

    (4) Maintaining an aggressive program to detect and apprehend 
persons who drive while privileges are suspended or revoked.
    (5) Using sound discretion and judgment in deciding when to 
apprehend, issue citations, or warn the offender.
    (b) Selective enforcement will be used when practical. Selective 
enforcement deters traffic violations and reduces accidents by the 
presence or suggested presence of law enforcement personnel at places 
where violations, congestion, or accidents frequently occur. Selective 
enforcement applies proper enforcement measures to traffic congestion 
and focuses on selected time periods, conditions, and violations that 
cause accidents. The military services use selective enforcement because 
that practice is the most effective use of resources.
    (c) Enforcement activities against intoxicated driving will include-
-
    (1) Detecting, apprehending, and testing persons suspected of 
driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
    (2) Training law enforcement personnel in special enforcement 
techniques.
    (3) Enforcing blood-alcohol concentration standards. (See 
Sec. 634.34.)
    (4) Denying installation driving privileges to persons whose use of 
alcohol or other drugs prevents safe operation of a motor vehicle.
    (d) Installation officials will formally evaluate traffic 
enforcement at least once a year. That evaluation will examine 
procedures to determine if the following elements of the program are 
effective in reducing traffic accidents and deaths:
    (1) Selective enforcement measures.
    (2) Suspension and revocation actions.
    (3) Chemical breath-testing programs.
