Q: I would like to know the policy for ID cards that were lost then found and turned in. I understand all found ID cards end up at the CFAY Security Office. I would like to know if Security ever calls the sponsor of the ID card or do they simply deliver them in bulk to Personnel Support Detachment (PSD) for proper disposal?

A: Unfortunately, all ID cards do not end up at CFAY Security since there are various places on base which operate their own lost and found programs such as the Navy Exchange, commissary and Public Works for example. The cards that are turned into Base Security are logged into our found ID card database and are kept on hand for personnel to come in and claim. When we do receive ID cards we attempt to locate the individual in the base DBIDS system. Unfortunately, 90 percent of the time, the individual is not registered in DBIDS or the information is not accurate. On average, we get approximately 25 ID cards a month turned in to us and of those about 15 percent are claimed by the owner by contacting our lost and found office at 243-9052. Those not claimed are returned to PSD once a month for accountability in their system.
