been committed even if the evidence cannot solely support
the charge. An arrest may be authorized and initiated by the
Director of Security for a duration of twenty-four (24)
hours which may be extended by fourty-eight (48) hours by a
Council member, the Executive Committee (or Fleet Admiral)
or the Council of Admirals. When an arrest has been made,
the arrestee will have their access restricted to the brig.
The appropriate official as directed by policy has
twenty-four (24) hours to issue formal charges and
punishment or release the arrestee, unless the Executive
Committee (or Fleet Admiral) or the Council of Admirals or
the Office of the Judge Advocate General authorizes a longer
time. Once formal charges are enacted and punishments
issued, the Office of the Judge Advocate General will be
contacted and made aware. If a charge is appealed, all
investigative material will be released to the Office of the
Judge Advocate General immediately. Security Officers will
follow the Charter of the Office of the Judge Advocate
