===Measures against infiltration===
* '''The Bray reforms'''
Brigadier Michael Bray adopted a [[zero-tolerance]] policy for any activity related to loyalism from the beginning of his tenure as Commander UDR. He instituted a number of safeguards including monitoring of entire battalions and six-month security reviews of all UDR personnel.  An [[out of bounds]] list was compiled which included pubs and clubs known to be frequented by loyalist paramilitaries.<ref name=autogenerated2>Ryder 1991 p. 215</ref> Soldiers were cautioned as to whom they should socialise with.<ref name=autogenerated2 /> This was a concerted effort to remove anyone with dual membership from the regiment and to prevent [[peer pressure]] being applied.<ref>Ryder pp215–216</ref>
* '''The Stevens Enquiry'''
The [[Stevens Report]] resulted in a tightening of control on even the most low-rated intelligence documents and heightened accountability. For the first time the RUC were given access to UDR vetting procedures and many soldiers found themselves under police observation for extended periods of time, in some cases resulting in their discharge. Stevens agreed there had been collusion between a small number of UDR soldiers who had "gravely abused their positions of trust" but that the issue was not "widespread or institutionalised".<ref>[[The Independent]] ''Now it's time for Tony Blair to fulfil the promise he made to me'' 18 April 2003</ref>
