Protective Security Division (PSD)Mission

Reduce the Nation’s vulnerability to terrorism by developing and coordinating plans to protect critical infrastructure and key assets and to deny the use of our infrastructure as a weapon.

7

National Asset Data Base (NADB)

The NADB is a repository for the Nation’s Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources (CI/KR).

Assets provided by: States, territories, tribes, Sector Specific Plan Agencies, Federal agencies, Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ISAC), and DHS personnelAssets are categorized by:

National level of importanceState or Regional level of importance, andLocal Community level of importance

Mission of the National Infrastructure Simulation and Analysis Center

Provide fundamentally new modeling and simulation capabilities for the analysis of critical infrastructures, their interdependencies, vulnerabilities, and complexities. These advanced capabilities will help improve the robustness of our Nation’s critical infrastructures by aiding decision makers in the areas of policy analysis, investment and mitigation planning, education and training, and near real-time assistance to crisis response organizations.

Protective Security Advisors – Current Plans

By end of FY05, 68 PSAs will be in the field. One in each of the Secret Service Field Offices, with an additional 12 in areaswith high densities of CI/KR.Responsibilities Include

Assist in identification of high-value targets.Knowledgeable of all high-priority assets in the regionClose working relationship with local law enforcementCoordinate vulnerability reduction effortsCoordinate requests for services including SAVs, BZPPs, TrainingFunction as “on-scene” DHS rep at EOCs

17

Protective Security Task Force - Concept

Protective Security Task Forces (PSTFs) will be manned, trained, and equipped to plan and implement enhanced security at designated critical infrastructure and events/venues. The PSTF mission is to prevent, deter, respond and mitigate the effects of a potential attack or incident on a targeted asset. PSTFs will augment, not replace, local and regional protective security capacity.PSTFs will be located at Protective Security Centers in or near major U.S. urban areas or near target rich locations.

18

Protective Security Task Forces - Employment

PSTFs will contribute to regional efforts to identify potential targets, reduce vulnerabilities, and reduce response gaps. PSTFs will deploy on receipt of actionable intelligence to specified targets.PSTFs will deploy to non-threatened critical assets in an effort to exercise security enhancements and potentially interrupt the terrorist mission-planning cycle.PSTFs will leverage technology, vice manpower, to enhance security. Visible monitoring and surveillance equipment will provide both deterrence and awareness

Protection Pilot Projects

DC Rail Corridor Pilot Project

Establish “Virtual Portals” at key entrance points (Lorton, Virginia and Silver Spring, Maryland) to screen trains prior to entering DC corridor.

Video monitoring of trainsIFF monitoring of personnelChemical monitoring

Trains that initiate alarms could be stopped for additional screening.Training and outfitting HAZMAT, Bomb Squad, and SWAT teams to ensure they are prepared to address specific threats

Objective: Requirements driven implementation new technology, or novel implementations of existing technology, to support the PSD mission.

22

Conclusion

PSAs and PSTFs will magnify our capabilities to protect the nation’s infrastructure.All of the protective measures and pilot projects are built around local law enforcement and other public safety officials.

Notes to TDC Chart

Note 1- POE/Checkpoint screening will be developed and delivered in close cooperation with the BTS/CBP.Note 2- Public Safety Bomb Squad training will complement FBI HDS delivered training. TDC will not deliver basic

level training. Courses currently being delivered under the ATF would be supported by the TDC.Note 3- Ports/Harbor training will be developed and delivered in close cooperation with the USCG.Note 4- Detection/Mitigation equipment requirements will be integrated into the DHS PSD PSAC.Note 5- Canine Augmentation program will complement TSA/FPS initiative to beef up federal capabilities and support

to state/local authorities by placing trained dogs at local municipalities that commit to the requirements of maintaining a K-9 capability. Initial procurement of a canine plus a 10 week trainer/canine course is estimated to be $14.5K per team. In addition, we plan to pre-stage a pool of K-9s at the Protective Security Centers that can be further deployed by state/local authorities to high threat areas.

Note 6- Emerging threats will be identified via DoD CEXC/FBI TEDAC and other IC assets.
