Sec. 634.27  Speed-measuring devices.

    Speed-measuring devices will be used in traffic control studies and 
enforcement programs. Signs may be posted to indicate speed-measuring 
devices are being used.
    (a) Equipment purchases. Installations located in States having a 
formal training and certification program will purchase the same brand 
and model of equipment used by the State and will ensure operators 
attend an appropriate training program. Otherwise, equipment in 
appropriate Service or DLA tables of allowances will be used.
    (b) Training and certification standards. (1) The commander of each 
installation using traffic radar will ensure that personnel selected as 
operators of such devices meet training and certification requirements 
prescribed by the States in which the installation is located. Specific 
information on course dates, costs, and prerequisites for attending may 
be obtained by contacting the State agency responsible for police 
traffic radar training.
    (2) Installation commanders located in States or overseas areas 
where no formal training program exists, or where the military personnel 
are unable or ineligible to participate in police traffic radar training 
programs, may implement their own training program or use a selected 
civilian institution or manufacturer's course.
    (3) The objective of the civilian or manufacturer-sponsored course 
is to improve the effectiveness of speed enforcement through the proper 
and efficient use of speed-measurement radar. On successful completion, 
the course graduate must be able to--
    (i) Describe the association between excessive speed and accidents, 
deaths, and injuries, and describe the traffic safety benefits of 
effective speed control.
    (ii) Describe the basic principles of radar speed measurement.
    (iii) Identify and describe the Service's policy and procedures 
affecting radar speed measurement and speed enforcement.
    (iv) Identify the specific radar instrument used and describe the 
instrument's major components and functions.
    (v) Demonstrate basic skills in calibrating and operating the 
specific radar instrument(s).
    (vi) Demonstrate basic skills in preparing and presenting records 
and courtroom testimony relating to radar speed measurement and 
enforcement.
    (c) Recertification. Recertification of operators will occur every 3 
years.
