Who can terminate a stop, check, and pass?

Who can terminate a stop, check, and pass?

• A. Security Forces Gate Entry Officer
• B. The escort
• C. Wing Commander
• D. Flight chief or above

Answer: (D)

The key idea is who has the authority to end a stop, check, and pass in base security operations. Terminating that process must be done by someone with supervisory clearance to release the individual or vehicle. A flight chief or above holds the delegated authority to end the stop and authorize passage, ensuring the decision sits with a person who oversees the security post and can grant clearance. The gate entry officer carries out the stop and checks, but the release decision rests with a supervisor, not the person initiating the stop. An escort isn’t authorized to terminate such actions, and while a Wing Commander has high authority, routine terminations are handled at the flight chief level or higher. So, the best answer is a flight chief or above.
