Introduction to Personnel Security PS113.16

[Register to take this course]

This course does not contain the final exam. Students must register for the exam separately in STEPP and will receive credit for the course upon receiving a passing score.

Description: This course introduces the management practices and procedures required to administer the Department of Defense (DoD) Personnel Security Program (PSP) at the military base/installation level. The course provides an overview of the elements of the PSP to include: designation of sensitive duties; investigative and adjudicative practices; security officer responsibilities under the PSP one-time access requirements; special security program requirements; and due process procedures. The course identifies the types of personnel security investigations (PSIs), the position sensitivity or duties associated, and the agency authorized to conduct PSIs.

Length: 2 hours

Target Audience: DoD civilian, military and contractor personnel who support the DoD PSP. Non-DoD personnel with similar respon¬sibilities are encouraged to register because elements and concepts contained in the course apply to other Federal personnel security programs. This course is specifi¬cally designed to address the needs of individuals requiring an overview of the PSP not directly responsible for managing the program.
