FP...The DHS security program is a contractual joke. FPS somehow scammed a middleman position where they take each government agencies money and in return they promise to manage the security contracts for those agencies. They take their 30% cut, then don't do squat. Their guard service contract program is staffed with flunkies and cronies hired from those same failed programs. FPS does not do background checks on it's contract guard personnel resulting in hiring numerous B&E specialists, former convicts, people who can't qualify to get a clearance, and when inspected, they routinely find that numerous FPS weapons have been used in various reported crimes. They don't train their contract guards to even a point 100 steps below industry law enforcement standard. They don't contract for guards with peace officer status, and thus while their contract guards are armed, they are not allowed to patrol one step off the property. They are not allowed to draw their weapons under any circumstances, and they are not allowed to testify. Since most are giglio impaired. And most of their supervisory staff is impaired as well. As a result, most FPS contracted guard force personnel are directed not to record any incidents that could result in law enforcement action because they might have to testify. And they are directed not to report any questionable incidents or observed legal infractions to the client agency for the same reason. Then, when you challenge FPS as to just what they are providing, they back pedal and throw stones and point fingers at the client agency. Also, their guard service contracts do not provide for any flashlights, communications equipment, chassis mirrors, X-ray machines, metal detectors, or any other normal professional guard service equipment. They have no- what anyone would call, professional or "industry standard" weapons/firearms/self defense/first aid/ training. They must buy their own ammunition except for the 6 rounds issued per weapon. They only issue one weapon, usually a certifiable piece of junk for each duty guard per facility. So if they only have one guard on at a time, then the guards sequentially swap the weapon to the next guy on the next shift. So there is no weapon familiarity. If you observe them qualifying to FPS standards, they are good to go at 3 yards, have some problems at 5 yards, have real problems at 10 yards, have trouble hitting an elephant at 10 yards, and at 15 yards, they have trouble hitting the side of a barn from the inside. They are absolutely the last people in the world you want having anything to do with security at any federal facility. -signed- a federal 10 year DSO.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
