PLEASE NOTE: For information on:

A. Purpose

Edit Section Add SubSection

This chapter provides guidance for restricting and/or removing offending individuals from NIH campuses and facilities in emergency and non-emergency situations. Included are procedures to be used in determining if the offending individual’s access should be removed and/or restricted on a short or long-term basis.

B. Scope

Edit Section Add SubSection

This policy applies to all NIH personnel, contractors, visitors, or guests, who enter or work at a NIH owned or leased facility or location.

C. Background

Edit Section Add SubSection

Following security screenings, individuals are permitted to enter onto NIH grounds to work, visit patients, consult medical staff, attend seminars, and engage in a variety of other activities in support of the agency’s mission.

This policy of open access has proven effective in fostering biomedical research. However, on rare occasions someone will enter NIH grounds for an inappropriate purpose or engage in threatening or disruptive behavior. When this occurs, the offending individual’s access, both present and future, may be denied or restricted to protect the NIH community and ensure fulfillment of the agency’s mission.

D. Policy

Edit Section Add SubSection

This chapter establishes the NIH policy, that when warranted, individuals may be restricted and/or removed from NIH workplaces. This policy applies to all NIH owned, occupied and leased spaces and to all persons entering those areas. All persons on NIH property must comply with applicable Federal laws and must not engage in conduct that is harmful to persons or property or interferes with the mission of the NIH. This includes behavior or statements that reasonably appear to threaten public safety or create a nuisance or disturbance. It is the policy of the NIH to have such persons restricted and/or removed from its facilities and grounds.

The NIH Division of Police (DP) is tasked with the responsibility of enforcing the aforementioned restrictions and/or removals on the Bethesda campus, the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Rocky Mountain Laboratories (RML) campus in Montana, and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) facilities located at Ft. Detrick, in Frederick, MD. In certain cases, DP officers may initiate a restriction and/or removal without a prior request if they witness a person whose behavior or statements reasonably appear to threaten public safety or create a nuisance or disturbance on the NIH grounds.

The Federal Protective Service (FPS) is an agency of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) with jurisdiction over NIH General Services Administration (GSA) leased facilities. NIH employees requiring police assistance at facilities under FPS jurisdiction should call the Suitland Mega Center at 301-763-0040 or 1-877-437-7411. The hearing impaired should call FPS at 301-763-0126.

Protection of all other NIH facilities against unwarranted individuals gaining entry follows a different process. The NIH depends upon contracted guard force personnel to protect all other locations. NIH personnel who work at these locations shall direct matters that require a police response to local law enforcement agencies possessing jurisdiction for non-emergency situations or call 911 for emergencies that require an immediate response.

In the event it is necessary to restrict the physical access of an individual or remove that individual from facilities without the NIH DP, the NIH DP shall request FPS and/or local law enforcement agencies to assist and enforce the restriction or removal. The request for assistance is obtained through the process described below. Local police agencies will not authorize or enforce a restriction and/or removal unless an existing peace order restricting the physical proximity of an individual is in force. As in the case of NIH DP officers, a police officer from FPS or a local jurisdiction who witnesses an action they deem detrimental to good order and discipline may take an action against the offending individual to resolve the situation.

E. Responsibilities

Edit Section Add SubSection
