 Assignment 2: Briefing Report  

Review the briefing report titled “Federal Protective Service:  Actions needed to resolve delays and inadequate oversight issues with  FPS’s risk assessment and management program” located at http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d11705r.pdf.  Most of the changes that have taken place within the Federal Protective  Service (FPS) have been reactive as a result of specific events such as  the Oklahoma City bombing and terrorist events of September 11, 2001.  This insinuates that there could be other potential threats that are  being ignored because they have yet to be exploited.
 

 Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:  

• Evaluate  the security measures taken by the FPS and determine if the measures  are comprehensive enough, given any potential threats not mentioned in  the report.
• Compare the security measures provided by the FPS to those of a commercial building with which you are familiar.
• Describe the weaknesses that still exist within the protocols defined by the FPS.
• Describe  the security measures that you see at your nearest federal building as  well as the security measures that you believe may not be obvious to  other observers.
• Use at least two (2) quality resources in this  assignment including the suggested FPS Website. Note: Wikipedia and  similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:  

• Be  typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with  one-inch margins on all sides; references must follow APA or  school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional  instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the  assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title,  and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in  the required page length.
