(202) 732-8000


Since security needs vary by location, even among facilities at the same security level, the DOJ Vulnerability Assessment of Federal Facilities established the Building Security Committee (BSC) as a formal mechanism for addressing security concerns at each facility under GSA's control. The BSC should consist of a representative from each of the federal agencies occupying the building. An FPS Specialist will evaluate the building using the DOJ standards and document those findings in a Building Security Assessment that will be presented to the BSC. The BSC should ensure that people follow proper security practices in your building and that employees receive training on the Occupant Emergency Plan and security awareness.
