CPL Private RallyPoint Member 7424310 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>So question for anyone who can answer. Recently many people have been taking leave for the holidays so it’s pretty common for a commander to authorize a health and welfare, no big deal. But In this particular instance there were three people involved in the “inspection” a SSG, SPC, and PFC. the SSG and PFC were K9 and the SPC was just the assistant barracks manager. But it started out bad when they began using the master key to barge in on people while they were sleeping, with little to no knocking at all. Many not dressed appropriately for an inspection obviously. Then from there it wasn’t totally standard. the occupants were removed from the building (normal) while the PFC and ONLY the PFC conducted the search with his K9. (Zero NCOs present and no chain of command) everything else was pretty standard up to the point where they entered a soldiers room that was on leave. They proceeded to search that room, again not a huge deal other than there not being any NCO there to verify the inspection obviously. But then after letting themselves in and unlocking all of this soldiers quarters, they left everything unsecured. With a high value items list worth thousands of dollars, all in electronics and tools, left the room unsecured entirely and door wide open. Thank goodness nothing was missing, but what is the best route for addressing this situation so people are held accountable and it doesn’t ever happen in the future? 2021-12-16T00:44:30-05:00 CPL Private RallyPoint Member 7424310

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Well, you could always grab the sack and go straight to the BN CSM via Open Door Policy. Contact IG. Contact JAG to ensure these searches were legal or illegal.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>That&#39;s not a health and welfare inspection, that is a search by law enforcement officials. Health and welfare inspections are requested and conducted by leadership.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>CHAIN OF COMMAND. Why wasn&#39;t the equipment secured in a locker prior to departure? Also, there are a lot of allegations being made by a person who was on leave and did not know if an NCO was or wasn&#39;t present. I take it the SSG was a K9 handler and did not count as an NCO since the inspection with the dog was their responsibility. Also, isn&#39;t a health and welfare&quot; inspection suppose to be &quot;no notice&quot;?
