CDSE Announces the Release of the Physical Security Planning and Implementation Course

September 29, 2010 - The Center for Development of Security Excellence (CDSE) recently released the new Physical Security Planning and Implementation Course. This is an interactive web-based course. The 2-hour course provides an overview of the physical security planning and implementation process within the Department of Defense (DoD) physical security program. This entry-level course is designed to acquaint those charged with physical security duties and other security professionals with the physical security planning process.

Included in this course are lessons which provide students with background and context about physical security planning and implementation concepts and how the risk management model drives physical security planning and implementation. Additionally, emphasis is placed on identifying the individual and group roles within the DoD physical security program and explaining their importance in physical security planning and implementation. Students should expect to cover a number of areas related to facility design and physical security considerations for construction of new or modification of existing facilities, capped off by an interactive exercise in a virtual facility. Other areas covered in this course include exploring the documents that are used in physical security planning and implementation, The DoD Antiterrorism Program, and Oversight and Inspection processes.

The target audience for this course is civilian, military, and contractor personnel responsible for or involved with the application of physical security in the safeguarding and protection of DoD assets.
