About This Workshop

The key to protecting your facility is to use solid risk management techniques and expertise to identify and implement cost-effective security solutions. Physical Security for Government Facilities will teach you basic defense measures (including protection basics for outside penetration) and how to develop countermeasures to reduce security risk . This course will help you create, or improve, your organization-wide security plan to improve your defenses against terrorist attacks, theft, vandalism, intruders, etc.

Government facilities are not yet where they need to be to manage various physical security threats. Knowing how to protect your most vital buildings and systems -- and your employees -- should be your number one priority. Attend this very important workshop to protect your most important assets.

You'll also receive handouts which will provide you with a take-home, strategic "guide" to help you in your physical security planning.

• How to create or improve your security measures
• What to do if faced with a physical security threat
• How to train guards and other staff to react to various security situations
