Generally, proper procedure requires the process server to report to the Staff Judge Advocate's Office, Bldg. 1278, for , review of the process documents. . Once the process documents are approved by the Staff Judge Advocate's Office, the process server is directed to the Security Police, Bldg. 1219. They determine the location of the individual being served, his or her organization and the identity of the employee's supervisor. Once this appropriate information is obtained, SP contacts the employee's supervisor, who privately informs the employee of his or her option to either meet with the process server at the SP office or have the process server appear at the work place. If the person being served refuses to comply with either option, security police are authorized to escort the process server to the individual's job location; however, SPs are precluded from assisting in the actual service of process, other than helping to locate the person to be served. The regulation further provides that service of legal process will be made under circumstances providing the maximum amount of privacy practicable.
