Book excerpt: The security of federal government buildings and facilities affects not only the daily operations of the federal government but also the health, well-being, and safety of federal employees and the public. For the purposes of this report, federal facilities include any building leased or owned by the General Services Administration. Security of federal facilities includes physical security assets such as closed-circuit television cameras, barrier material, and security guards (both federally employed and contracted). Federal facility security practices have been subject to criticism by government auditors and security experts. Elements that have received criticism include the use of private security guards, the management and security practices of the Federal Protective Service, and the coordination of federal facility security.

Book excerpt: The security of federal government buildings and facilities affects not only the daily operations of the federal government but also the health, well-being, and safety of federal employees and the public. Federal building and facility security is decentralized and disparate in approach, as numerous federal entities are involved and some buildings or facilities are occupied by multiple federal agencies. The federal government is tasked with securing over 446,000 buildings or facilities daily. The September 2001 terrorist attacks, the September 2013 Washington Navy Yard shootings, and the April 2014 Fort Hood shootings have refocused the federal government's attention on building security activities. There has been an increase in the security operations at federal facilities and more intense scrutiny of how the federal government secures and protects federal facilities, employees, and the visiting public. This renewed attention has generated a number of frequently asked questions. This report answers several common questions regarding federal building and facility security, including: What is federal facility security?; Who is responsible for federal facility security?; Is there a national standard for federal facility security?; What are the types of threats to federal facilities, employees, and the visiting public?; How is threat information communicated among federal facility security stakeholders?; and, What are the potential congressional issues associated with federal facility security?

Book excerpt: One of the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) priorities is the protection of Federal employees and private citizens who work within and visit U.S. Government-owned or leased facilities. The Interagency Security Committee (ISC), chaired by DHS, consists of 53 Federal departments and agencies, has as its mission the development of security standards and best practices for nonmilitary Federal facilities in the United States. As Chair of the ISC, I am pleased to introduce the new ISC document titled The Risk Management Process: An Interagency Security Committee Standard (Standard). This ISC Standard defines the criteria and processes that those responsible for the security of a facility should use to determine its facility security level and provides an integrated, single source of physical security countermeasures for all nonmilitary Federal facilities. The Standard also provides guidance for customization of the countermeasures for Federal facilities.

Book excerpt: Attacks on federal facilities in the U.S. have highlighted the need to identify lessons learned from prior security incidents and apply that knowledge to security procedures government-wide. Dozens of federal law enforcement agencies provide physical security services for domestic non-military federal facilities. The Interagency Security Committee (ISC) is responsible for developing government-wide physical security standards and co-ordinating agencies to improve the protection of federal facilities. This book examines the practices used to identify and apply lessons learned and how agencies have used these practices; the actions the ISC has taken to identify and apply lessons learned from attacks on federal facilities; and the challenges to developing a government-wide lessons learned process and the strategies agencies have used to mitigate those challenges. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has reviewed documents and interviewed officials from 35 security and law enforcement agencies with experience protecting selected tourist sites in cities in Greece, Israel, Italy and the United States.

Book excerpt: " The 2012 shooting at the Anderson Federal Building in Long Beach, California, demonstrates that federal facilities and their employees as well as the public who visit federal buildings continue to be the targets of violence. The Federal Protective Service and about 30 other federal agencies are responsible for protecting civilian federal facilities and their occupants from potential threats, in part, by assessing risks to their facilities. ISC-an interagency organization led by the Department of Homeland Security- issues standards for facility protection. GAO was asked to examine how federal agencies assess risk to their facilities. This report assesses (1) the extent to which selected ISC member agencies' facility risk assessment methodologies align with ISC's risk assessment standards, and (2) how ISC assists member agencies in developing risk assessment methodologies and monitors compliance with these standards. GAO selected 9 of 53 ISC member agencies based on their missions and number of facilities. GAO compared each selected agency's risk assessment methodology to ISC's risk assessment standards. ISC is required to enhance security in and protection of federal facilities government-wide; recommendations GAO makes are to ISC and not its member agencies. "

Over the years, GAO hasmade numerous recommendations toaddress significant weaknesses inFPS's oversight and management ofits security workforce. Legislationhas been introduced that would,among other things, have FPSexamine the effectiveness of relyingmore on federal employees forsecurity.As requested, this report examines:(1) nine federal agencies' approachesfor staffing their security workforces;(2) federal and private sectorrepresentatives' views on the benefitsand challenges of using contract andin-house security staff; and (3)lessons that FPS can learn fromfederal agencies that have changedtheir security staffing approaches.GAO reviewed agency documentsand conducted interviews withrepresentatives from federal agenciesand private sector firms selectedbased on the use of security guardsand experience in changing a securityworkforce, among other criteria.
