Global Security Academy

The Global Threat to Secured Locations• The threat of a terrorist attack to a major

transportation hub is a primary concern for security officials worldwide.

• Persons considered to be security risks to aviation, mass transit and border areas.

• Unidentified packages.• Attempts to hijack and take down

an aircraft.• Homegrown and radicalized

suicide attacks.

DO YOU HAVE ANY LIQUIDS IN HERE?'

NO!

The Problems We Face Maintaining Security1. Continuous evolution of internal and external threats.

2. The changing of policies worldwide and their impact on technology, operating procedures and structure of the checkpoint or transportation hubs.

3. High turnover rate of security personnel -> low proficiency level of security personnel -> inadequate security level.

“Almost one-quarter of the officers who screened passengersbefore flights at Canada's eight busiest airports left their jobs in 2009-10, says a report by the CATSA“.

“According to a USA Today article, airport security screeners havethe highest employee turnover rate in the U.S. government”.

The Solution

• The solution is to be ready with tested and proven techniques to limit the vulnerabilities while providing key resources to be able to remain flexible, evolve and adapt to the continuous threat of terrorism and criminal behavior.

• We propose to create a local academythat will supply training and overall solutions for checkpoints at secured locations (i.e. airports, government buildings, prisons etc.).

Solutions to the Global Threat of Terrorism1. Security courses: IED awareness, checkpoint security

officer, screeners (x-ray operators), threat detection technology operators, security managers, risk analysis, threat definition.

2. Canine courses: explosive dogs training, annual dog training, dog handler evaluations.

3. Selection program for security employees: HR screening procedures – get the right employees!

4. Auditing: (OPSEC) risk surveys, soft spots, vulnerability assessments and annual security reviews.

5. Consulting: secured location design, risk analysis, threat definition.

Results and ExpectationsBetter security personnel, better security.

“The system has been in place for about one year and through the tracking tool, I have witnessed my operators consistently perform better on each of the training modules. The system is fantastic, can be tailored to the sites specific needs, but the crowning touch is the staff that will be included with the XD

system” Keith L. Kambic, CPP – Director of Security & Life Safety, US Equities Asset Management. Feb. 2012.
