Director's Perspective
Welcome to the Office of Headquarters Security
Operations
James E. Toczko, Director
The Office of Headquarters
Security Operations provides comprehensive protection
services for DOE Headquarters facilities in the metropolitan
Washington area. By protecting Headquarters facilities,
personnel, property, sensitive information, and classified
material we serve as a mission essential support element
for all DOE Headquarters operations. To that end,
it is incumbent upon our office to establish a working
relationship with the many and varied programs that
collectively make up the Department of Energy. We
continuously seek to achieve excellence in this area
by maintaining an effective and meaningful dialog
with both the leaders of the DOE programs that we
support and with our security counterparts in other
Government agencies throughout the Washington Metropolitan
area.
The Office of Headquarters Security Operations consists
of an efficient, well-trained group of security professionals,
both Federal and contractor, who are dedicated to
the protection of the people, and the physical and
information assets entrusted to our care. We are proud
to serve our DOE colleagues and the public at large
by providing round-the-clock protective operations,
surveillance, and services that ensure the safety
and security of all DOE employees, contractors and
visitors.
We continue to search for better and more effective
training methods for our protective force and for
all employees through our security awareness program.
Our ongoing implementation of advanced technologies
continues to enhance our security protective measures
program and technical surveillance countermeasures
program to keep us at the cutting edge of these continuously
changing fields. Our enforcement of these physical
security programs provides the appropriate security
posture at the DOE Headquarters facilities and throughout
the complex along with other government agencies,
as directed by Executive Orders and DOE directives.
The Office of Headquarters Security Operations constantly
strives to set the highest of protection standards
for DOE. In doing so we seek to create a security
mindset with programs such as classified matter protection
and control that permits the many program offices
to carry out the vital mission this Department performs
for our country. We recognize that with strong programs
like operations security we can remain cognizant of
the demands of the Global War on Terror and we remain
eternally vigiliant.
