So you got a ticket, what now? Published March 23, 2012 By Staff Sgt. Nicole Harris 14th Security Forces Squadron COLUMBUS AIR FORCE BASE, Miss. -- Did you know that you can rebut the ticket you just received? First, you'll need to inform your first sergeant or commander within 24 hours or the next duty day that you received a ticket. For civilian employees, you'll need to inform your supervisor. Spouses and personnel that are sponsored onto the installation must inform their military sponsor, who will then inform their First Sergeant or Commander. Retirees are excused from this reporting requirement and will be given a memorandum explaining the rebuttal process. The next step is to come to the Security Forces Squadron, building 208 and ask to speak to a Reports and Analysis staff member. You can also call their office at 434-7214. The Reports and Analysis staff will walk you through the rebuttal process which is the sole means of ticket redress. Please don't delay, as you only have five duty days to rebut your ticket. Finally, 14th Mission Support Group Commander as the base magistrate will then review and issue a decision on your rebuttal package. Afterwards, Reports and Analysis will contact you to inform you of the magistrate's decision on your rebuttal package. If you require more information on the ticketing process please contact our Reports and Analysis staff at 434-7214, and remember to drive safely!
