Bill > S3100

This bill requires the Director of the Federal Protective Service (FPS) to enhance oversight and accountability of contract security personnel who protect federal buildings managed by the General Services Administration (GSA). Specifically, the bill mandates establishing new standards for covert testing of security personnel, including creating a uniform method for documenting test results, conducting quarterly analytical reviews to identify trends and vulnerabilities, and developing mandatory corrective training for security personnel who fail covert tests. The bill also requires the FPS Director to evaluate and potentially modernize the current personnel tracking system within 180 days, determining whether to replace the system or implement improvements to better manage and monitor contract security personnel deployment. The Director must submit annual reports to congressional committees detailing the implementation of these requirements, challenges encountered, and recommendations for further action. An important provision clarifies that contract security personnel remain contractors and are not designated as federal employees. The overall goal is to improve the effectiveness, reliability, and performance of contract security services in federal buildings.
