Behavior or criminal records that pose unacceptable risk/absolute denial are listed below:

• The individual is known to be or reasonably suspected of being a terrorist or belongs to an organization with known terrorism links/support.
• The installation is unable to verify the individual's claimed identity.
• The individual has previously been barred from access to a federal installation or stand-alone facility.
• The individual is wanted by Federal, State, Local, or other civil law enforcement authorities, regardless of offense or violation.
• The individual has any conviction for espionage, sabotage, treason, terrorism, or murder.
• The individual’s name appears on any Federal or State agency’s watch list or hit list for criminal behavior or terrorist activity.
• The individual has been convicted of a firearms or explosive violation.
• The individual has been convicted of sexual assault, armed robbery, rape, child molestation, child pornography, trafficking in humans, drug possession with intent to sell, or drug distribution.
• The individual has knowingly and willfully engaged in acts or activities designed to overthrow the U.S. Government by force.

If the individual does not meet the above criteria or criteria laid out in the Installation Access Fitness Matrix, answer the following questions:

• Did the individual commit the reason for denial while onboard the installation?
• Is there a likeliness of the individual re-offending while onboard the installation, during the scope of their visit. (If convicted of writing bad checks, and they are here to repair a dish washer, not likely.  Oppositely, if they are here for a party @ the base club, and have Multiple aggravated DUI, and are asking to drive, then a denial would be appropriate)
• Does the individual requesting access to the installation bring discredit to good order and discipline, during the scope of their visit?

If the Answer is “Yes” to any question, then the individual meets grounds for denial.

AFMAN 31-101v3 and Altus AFB IDP 31-101 states that personnel initially denied an escorted or unescorted access badge or pass may appeal the decision.  If you would like to submit an appeal please follow the instructions below.
