Arnold DAF Police Officers receive new SUV

Sgt. George Blasingame, a Dept. of the Air Force Police Officer at Arnold Air Force Base, Tenn., parks at a pull-off along Wattendorf Highway to watch for motorists committing moving violations, Dec. 17, 2020. DAF Officers began patrolling Arnold in late August. The SUV driven by Blasingame was recently acquired for the new force, and another SUV is also on order. Motorists traveling Arnold AFB roadways should be mindful that the DAF officers can issue citations for moving violations. Motorists who are cited for moving violations on Arnold AFB property are assessed points. Points are entered into the Air Force Justice Information System and assessed against their on-base driving record. Accumulation of 12 points in 12 months or 18 points in 24 months normally results in loss of driving privileges for up to a year. If someone gets caught driving during their revocation period, an additional year is usually added to the penalty. (U.S. Air Force photo by Jill Pickett)
