Training, Drills & Exercises
Typical Problems
The Port Facility Security Officer (PFSO) plays a crucial role in raising security awareness among all port facility personnel and ensuring that those performing security duties are properly trained. However, many PFSOs rely heavily on contracted security providers to fulfill these responsibilities without adequate oversight.Quarterly drills are meant to test elements of the Port Facility Security Plan (PFSP), but many organizations struggle to allocate the necessary time and resources to conduct meaningful exercises. As a result, drills often reveal gaps in security personnel's understanding of procedures, or demonstrate that protocols are not applied effectively.
