Buckley AFB has just recently went to a civilian police force as their force protection for the base. Very similar to what Fort Carson has and I would assume, what other bases/posts have.
Could it be they are there to observe and see how a DUI checkpoint is run? There are very specific rules that have to be followed in order to ensure the legality of the whole endeavor and one would not want to try to run one of their own without the benefit of watching/participating in one prior.

A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'
That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
Maybe DOD PD. They are consider civilian. Usually ex-DOD employees.
WHERE ARE YOUR PAPERS!
Civvie Police on mil bases are still qualified as LEOs in the US. MPs/SPs, are mil LE only, and can only be used as mil LE. But... and this was the case when I was at Ft. Drum in NY, which had civilians working with the MPs and were excluded from deployment (basically cops that worked on base). Fully legal for them to enforce laws in and outside the base (jurisdictional concerns apply), but bottom line, the Buckley AF PD can (as long as not mil pax) assist in 'emergency' situations. Not 100% sure if the Buckley civ cops can help with DUI checkpoints, but I know we had a situation in Drum years back where a soldier was running around with a semi-auto rifle shooting at things and the civilian Drum PD responded even when he was off-post.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office (DCSO) will be stepping up their efforts to apprehend intoxicated and impaired drivers. On Saturday, August 20, 2011 from 6:00 PM to 2:00 AM deputies and volunteers from the DCSO and Community Safety Volunteers will be assisted by representatives from M.A.D.D. and soldiers from Buckley Air Force Base, utilizing Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) grant funds, will be conducting a DUI checkpoint at a location in Douglas County on a roadway that has been identified as a problem area for accidents and high incidents of DUI arrests. DCSO will also have extra officers working throughout the weekend whose primary focus will be to apprehend intoxicated and impaired drivers in other areas of the county.
All deputies and officers want to remind drivers “Drunk Driving. Over the Limit. Under Arrest !”
The operation of the sobriety checkpoints will be conducted with the utmost respect for the safety of the participating officers and the motoring public. Priority shall be given to minimize the amount of time a motorist spends at the checkpoint to protect their constitutional rights.
The Colorado Department of Transportation grant funding is being used to assist law enforcement agencies in their efforts to enforce DUI laws within Colorado.
no worries, it's for the greater good
Damn, now I have to go put that in...
Thank goodness we have an Army. Where would all the Air Force rejects go otherwise?

Don't wanna get shot by the police?
"Stop Resisting Arrest!"
There are very few "soldiers" at Buckley, and if anyone is going to be at the DUI checkpoint, it with be USAF SPs (maybe OSI), security police for all of you who gave it a shot and missed.
Posse Comitatus does NOT stop SPs from being involved in the DUI checkpoint. It stops active duty military from enforcing civilian law. As I read it, they will be there to enforce military law on active military personnel. This is not a violation of pussy comeandgetus. They just get involved once a drunk is identified as active military. Every joint effort I worked over the years, what the military could and couldn't do was discussed prior to the operation with both the military and civilians usually by a JAG or based on a JAGs review of the op.
So, you can calm down. We aren't in Russia yet.
Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be.
Anyone that thinks war is good is ignorant. Anyone that thinks war isn't needed is stupid.
