Book excerpt: The Federal Protective Service (FPS), as part of the Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS), is responsible for providing security services to about 9,000 federal facilities. In recent years, FPS downsized its workforce from 1,400 to about 1,000 full-time employees. In 2008, there was concern about the impact that downsizing had on FPS's mission. In FY 2008 and 2009 Congress mandated FPS maintain no fewer than 1,200 employees. This report determines the extent to which: (1) FPS has hired and trained new staff to address its mandated staffing levels; (2) FPS has developed a strategic human capital plan to manage its current and future workforce needs; and (3) FPS's customers are satisfied with the services it provides.

Book excerpt: "Events such as the February 2010 attack on the Internal Revenue Service offices in Texas, and the shooting in the lobby of the Nevada federal courthouse, demonstrate the vulnerabilities of federal facilities and the safety of the federal employees who occupy them. The Federal Protective Service (FPS) is the primary agency responsible for the security of over 9,000 federal government facilities across the country. The fiscal year 2010 DHS appropriations act transferred FPS from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to the National Protection and Programs Directorate (NPPD), within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). This report addresses (1) the extent to which the FPS transition has been implemented and any remaining related challenges, and (2) the extent to which the transition will help address previously identified challenges to protecting federal facilities. GAO reviewed the 2009 FPS-NPPD transition plan; agreements between FPS, NPPD, and ICE, and best practices for scheduling and cost estimating; and interviewed DHS officials. GAO recommends that DHS improve the schedule for transferring IT services to reflect scheduling best practices, and update the IT transition cost estimate, in accordance with cost-estimating best practices.
