Certain vehicles were assigned to designated vehicle status, yet they.
routinely were assigned outside the protected area which is contrary to
the definition of a designated vehicle. A lack of management oversight
and inadequate procedural guidance characterized the licensee's
designated vehicle program.
.
The licensee's newly upgraded security communications system was identified as
'
a program strength. A weakness in the CCTV assessment of one alarm zone
because of low lighting was identified.
,
,
Four observations were noted.
Recent security force personnel layoffs have had a negative effect on
morale.
The quality of the x-ray machines barely met test standards anri should
.
be closely monitored by management.
The recently assigned onsite Quality Verification auditor responsible
for conducting field monitoring observations does not possess security
experience; consequently, this may affect his ability to identify
problem areas in the security program.
The offsite Quality Verification audit program improved because of the
comprehensive pre-audit checklist developed during the preparation phase
and the security experience of the auditor assigned.
Protected and vital area physical barriers and their associated detection
systems were maintained in an excellent condition. The quality of the-CCTV
assessment system continued to improve through an ongoing program to replace
tube cameras with solid state cameras. Alarm station operations were
excellent because of the knowledge and professionalism of the station
operators, the quality of station equipment, and the maintenance of that
equipment.
