Summary:

The protection of Federal employees and private citizens within U.S. government-owned or leased facilities is a top national priority. The mission of the Interagency Security Committee (ISC), comprised of 53 Federal departments and agencies, is to develop security standards, best practices, and guidelines for non-military Federal facilities in the United States. This book provides important information to assist department and agency security planners as they address a growing issue becoming increasingly present throughout both the public and the private sector: acts of violence in the workplace. The book provides a variety of examples based on real-world events for planners to study and take into consideration.
