Transportation and port security personnel must have the capacity to respond appropriately to a variety of situations presented by travelers every day. These include the simple confusion of young and older passengers regarding such issues as fare and destination, medical emergencies of all types, alcohol and drug intoxication, disrespectful rudeness, unruliness, combativeness and outright violence.
In addition to the challenges associated with natural disaster, transportation security is a fundamental concern given the times in which we live. Our subways, buses, trains, airlines and ocean vessels, as well as the ports and stations which receive them, are prime targets for domestic and foreign terrorist attacks. It is crucial that transit personnel have the ability to perceive potential threat indicators and act in ways which are pre-emptive and ameliorative. In the event of an attack, transit personnel must have the psychological focus to respond incisively to secure their own safety, as well as that of the public.
Psychological screening enables the selection of the most capable people to meet the demands of transportation security. In addition, our fit-for-duty assessments, critical incident officer status evaluations and individualized training programs will insure that, once on the job, your transportation security person will receive the help which they need to resolve problems and advance professionally.
