After attending this unclassified Workshop, students will be able to oversee design and construction of a sensitive compartmented information facility (SCIF) which meets official government requirements for a secure area where classified information is handled. The stringent physical security requirements; such as, access control systems, thickness of doors, the strength of concrete and the use of alarms, and acoustical controls which prevent...

Students will learn the difference between qualitative and quantitative risk analysis. They will use a variety of methodologies (including MSHARPP & SME3R [asset owner's point of view], CARVER [aggressor's point of view], ABRA [combination] & CAIRA [analysis of energy systems supporting critical assets]) to evaluate single or multiple buildings and critical infrastructure nodes. This class is very “hands-on” with numerous f...

This course is available to all Federal, State, local government and private sector SECURITY and ENGINEERING professionals. While the course focuses on securing DOD assets, the concepts learned are prudent and applicable in reducing criminal and terrorist threats to non-DOD buildings, as well. Contractors and consultants seeking construction contracts with the Department of Defense will attend this course. The course is designed to familiarize...

This course focuses on writing criteria for antiterrorism, continuity-of-operations (COOP) and resiliency, information security, physical security, operational security plans and operating procedures to meet Federal, State and local government requirements. What should be included in each type of plan is discussed in detail. Students will learn how to translate company policy into the five functional areas of every good plan. They will also le...

This 2-day course explores principles developed over the last twenty years in the “social behavior” arena. The same concepts that effect positive social engineering are duplicated in designing inhabited spaces to cause people to do what you want them to do. Students will learn to design “from the curb inward” and incorporate overlapping threat prevention principles. We also look at crime and terrorist activity and their...

SECURITY and ARCHITECT/ENGINEERING personnel involved in designing entry control facilities, both vehicular or pedestrian, will attend this three-day course. Students will focus their attention on the features required for the effective, efficient and safe operation of access and entry control points at compounds and controlled area perimeters. The workshop brings together the interdisciplinary dialogue between all of those involved in the des...

This 3-day workshop is designed to familiarize students with twenty-one design principles used in preventing and detecting criminal activity and reducing the effects of acts of terrorism on the safety of personnel and damage to facilities and critical infrastructure. Specific modules include; Terrorism Ideologies, Security Basics, Philosophies and Design Strategies, Blast Fundamentals, Glazing and Window Systems, Lighting, Vehicle Barrier Sele...

Safe-haven and Shelter Design and Engineering (SAF) – A safe-room is a structure or protected area, that provides protection from man-made or natural threats, for both short and long periods of time. It usually serves as a fall-back position in case of emergencies. Effective design components; i.e., air requirements and waste management, capacity limits, use of electronic media and other technologies will be examined in detail. DOD requi...
