Additional information
Please ensure all interested members are aware of the gate access requirements. If anyone does not have access to the base they can request a pass. If anyone needs to be sponsored we should know this ASAP as well. See below information.
GATE ACCESS: The GPOC is responsible for ensuring each guest is permitted on base. To establish gate access for guests, the GPOC should contact Gate Access and place guests on the Gate Access List. Information regarding placing your guests on the Gate Access list can be found online at https://nps.edu/web/base-police/vehicle-gate-access-services. Please contact Gate Access in advance as it will require background checks which require time for processing. The Gate Access Services Office is located at the Sloat Gate and is open Monday through Friday from 0700 to 1500.
