Artikel 28

primo. In accordance with the provisions of paragraph 4bis of the Section of the Protocol of Signature referring to Article 53 of the present Agreement, and without prejudice to the provisions of sub-paragraph a) of paragraph 10 of Article VII of the NATO Status of Forces Agreement, German police may exercise their authority within accommodation made available to a force or a civilian component for its exclusive use to the extent that the public order and safety of the Federal Republic are jeopardized or violated. Where a criminal prosecution measure (Strafverfolgungsmassnahme) is to be carried out within such accommodation, the sending State, following consultation with the German authorities concerning the modalities, may also have the measure carried out by its own police. In this case, the measure shall be carried out without delay and, where desired by the German side, in the presence of representatives of German authorities.
1. The military police of a force shall have the right to patrol on public roads, on public transport, in restaurants (Gaststätten) and in all other places to which the public has access and to take such measures with respect to the members of a force, of a civilian component or dependents as are necessary to maintain order and discipline. Insofar as it is necessary or expedient the details of the exercise of this right shall be agreed upon between the German authorities of the force, who maintain close mutual liaison.
2. If public order and safety are endangered or disturbed by an incident in which members of a force or of a civilian component or dependents are involved, the military police of a force shall, if so requested by the German authorities, take appropriate measures with respect to such persons to maintain or restore order and discipline.
