A bill (S. 772) designed to strengthen security at federally owned buildings has been approved by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. The bill seeks to improve security at buildings operated by the Federal Protective Service (FPS). The measure would authorize and fund 146 additional security and support personnel. Guards would undergo additional training, and facilities would undergo risk assessments to help focus resources. Both overt and covert testing would be conducted to ensure that guards are performing to expectations.
