NASA Protective Services Security Police Officers are federal law enforcement professionals dedicated to ensuring the security and safety of NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) facilities, personnel, and assets. This specialized security force plays a critical role in safeguarding NASA's activities, which include space exploration missions, research projects, and the protection of valuable assets.
Responsibilities:
NASA Protective Services security police officers undertake a range of responsibilities to maintain a secure environment for NASA operations. Their duties include:
Facility Security: Officers are tasked with patrolling NASA facilities to deter and respond to security threats. This involves monitoring access points, conducting security checks, and implementing measures to prevent unauthorized access.
Personnel Protection: Ensuring the safety of NASA personnel is a primary focus. Security police officers collaborate with NASA staff to implement security protocols and respond promptly to incidents that may compromise personnel safety.
Asset Protection: Safeguarding NASA's assets, including advanced technology, research data, and space exploration equipment, is of utmost importance. Officers employ security measures to prevent theft, sabotage, or unauthorized interference with NASA assets.
Emergency Response: Security police officers are trained to respond to various emergencies, including incidents that may pose a threat to personnel or facilities. This involves coordinating with other law enforcement agencies and emergency services when necessary.
SWAT/SRT: the need for a specialized team depends on center needs and budget. Kennedy Space Center is currently the only NASA center with a Emergency response team (ERT). JPL was in the process of creating one but due to budget limitations the team was scraped.
Training and Collaboration:
Security Police Officers within NASA Protective Services undergo specialized training from NASA Protective Services Training Academy in Kennedy Space Space Center (NPSTA) to develop the skills required for their unique responsibilities. NPSTA is a federal law enforcement academy accredited through FLETA. Training areas include crisis management, active shooter, arrest authority, de escalation, use of force, threat assessment, and collaboration with external agencies to enhance overall security capabilities. NPS Fire undergoes training through local fire academy depending on NASA centers.
Center Presence: NPS Special agents and Security Police are deployed in all centers while fire are only in select few. Centers include: NASA Headquarters, AMES Research Center, Armstrong Flight Research Center, Glenn Research Center, Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex, Goddard Space Flight Center, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Johnson Space Center, Kennedy Space Center, Langley Research Center, Marshall Space Flight Center, Neil Armstrong Test Facility, Stennis Space Center, Wallops Flight Facility, White Sands Test Facility
Collaboration with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies is integral to the work of NASA Protective Services security police officers. This ensures a coordinated and effective response to security challenges that may extend beyond NASA facilities.
