Significant Risk of Terrorist Attacks
The Federal Protective Service (FPS) is headed by retired Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel, Gary Schenkel.
Mission Statement
The FPS mission is to render federal properties safe and secure for federal employees, officials and visitors in a professional and cost effective manner by deploying a highly trained and multi-disciplined police force.
How We Work
The FPS has established itself as the center of expertise for physical security operations and offers a comprehensive blanket of protection that cuts across all of government. From the installation of alarm systems, x-rays, magnetometers and entry control systems, to monitoring those systems 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, providing uniformed police response and investigative follow-up, the FPS is organized to protect and serve. The provision of contract security guard services, crime prevention seminars tailored to individual agency and employee needs, facility security surveys, integrating intelligence gathering and sharing, and maintaining special operations capabilities all serve to make the FPS a world class security force.
What FPS does every day embodies the spirit of DHS, and the agency contributes to the DHS goals of awareness, prevention, protection, response, recovery service and organizational excellence. This year the FPS' contributions to fulfilling ICE and DHS mission goals include:
