                                 CHAPTER IV

                         TRAINING AND QUALIFICATION

1.  PURPOSE.  The overall objective of the formal protective force training
    program is to develop and maintain, in an effective and efficient
    manner, the competencies needed by protective force personnel to perform
    the tasks required to fulfill the protective force mission.  The formal
    training program, as addressed in this chapter, includes all organized,
    documented training activities that are the responsibility of the
    designated training organization.  This includes training activities
    conducted by supervisors, which are also developed and managed through
    the training organization.

2.  TRAINING AND QUALIFICATION.  Contractors responsible for protective
    force personnel shall establish formal qualification requirements.
    These requirements will ensure that protective force members meet the
    competencies needed to perform the tasks within their assigned
    responsibilities.  The qualification requirements will be supported by a
    formal training program that develops and maintains, in an effective and
    efficient manner, the knowledge, skills, and abilities required to
    perform assigned tasks.  The qualification and training programs will be
    based upon criteria established by the Central Training Academy as
    outlined in DOE 5630.15.  Departmental contractors responsible for
    training protective force personnel shall be required to prepare and
    annually review a task analysis detailing the required actions or
    functions for each specific job assignment.  The task analysis shall be
    used to prepare a job description and as a basic input document for
    local training requirements; it shall be approved by the Head of the
    Departmental Element.  The formal training and qualification program
    shall:

    a.   Be based on a valid and complete set of job tasks, with identified
         levels of skills and knowledge needed to perform the tasks.

    b.   Be aimed at achieving a well-defined, minimum level of competency
         required to perform each task acceptably.

    c.   Employ standardized lesson plans with clear performance objectives
         as a basis for instruction.

    d.   Include performance-based testing to determine and certify job
         readiness (i.e., qualification).

    e.   Be documented so that individual and overall training status is
         easily accessible.  Individual training records shall be retained
         until 1 year after termination of the employee as a member of the
         protective force, unless a longer retention period is specified by
         other requirements.

    f.   Take into account the learning characteristics and entry level
         competencies of trainees.

3.  SECURITY OFFICERS.

    a.   Training Requirements.  Prior to initial assignment to Security
         Officer duty, each person shall be required to successfully
         complete a basic training course designed to provide the minimum
         level of skills and knowledge necessary to competently perform all
         tasks associated with Security Officer job responsibilities.  The
         required tasks and minimum levels of competency shall be determined
         by a site-specific job analysis, and will include task areas found
         in Chapter II, paragraph 1, as appropriate.  The training program
         shall be approved by the Head of the Field Organization.  As
         applicable, the program shall include, but not necessarily be
         limited to, the following types of instruction:

         (1)  Orientation and standards of conduct;

         (2)  Security education and operations;

         (3)  Safety training;

         Security Officer job responsibilities.

         (1)  The type and intensity of training shall be based on a
              site-specific job analysis and shall be approved by the Head
              of the Field Element.

         (2)  Failure to achieve a minimum level of competency shall result
              in the Security Officer's placement in a formal remedial
              training program.  The remedial training program will be
              tailored to provide the Security Officer with the necessary
              training to afford a reasonable opportunity to meet the level
              of competency as determined by the job analysis.  Failure to
              demonstrate competency at the completion of the remedial
              program shall result in loss of Security Officer status.

         (3)  Formal annual refresher training may be exempted when a
              Security Officer satisfactorily demonstrates a knowledge,
              skill, or ability.  Such exemption shall be documented.

              night operations, tactical movement, and force options.

5.  WEAPONS QUALIFICATIONS.  SPO-IIIs shall qualify semiannually with all
    assigned weapons and special weapons (as designated by position or job
    requirement).  DOE M 5632.7-1 standard qualification courses will be
    used for all assigned and special weapons.  When Departmental standard
    qualification courses do not exist, site-specific supplemental courses
    will be developed and approved by the cognizant local Departmental
    authority for safeguards and security after review and comment by the
    Office of Safeguards and Security.

6.  FACILITIES.  Managers of sites with Special Response Team requirements
    will ensure that the facilities used by the teams are sufficient to
    conduct realistic training and qualification programs in a safe manner,
    as required in DOE 5480.16A.  This includes facilities for weapons
    qualifications, SPO-III Maintenance Training, SPO-III Specialized
    Training, and Site-Specific Training.  The use of local, State, and
    Federal law enforcement agencies' training facilities is an acceptable
    alternative to Departmental owned facilities as long as specific
    Departmental certifications and safety requirements are maintained.  A
    Memorandum of Agreement shall be completed by the appropriate local
    Departmental organization authorized to enter such an agreement and
    approved by the Head of Field Element.

7.  SPECIALIZED REQUIREMENTS.  Personnel assigned specialized
    responsibilities outside the scope of normal Security Police Officer and
    Special Response Team duties shall be required to successfully complete
    the appropriate basic and required periodic training.  This training
    shall be designed to enable the individual to achieve and maintain the
    minimum level of skill and knowledge needed to competently perform the
    tasks associated with the specialized job responsibilities, as well as
    maintain mandated certification, if applicable.  Such personnel include,
    but are not limited to, flight crews, instructors, armorers, central
    alarm system operators, crisis negotiators, investigators, canine
    handlers, and law enforcement specialists.  The scope of such duties
    shall be based on site-specific needs.

    the requirements established by the Department and/or the Office of
    Personnel Management.  Federal Officer training shall be consistent with
    applicable standards established for Security Police Officers.

10. PERFORMANCE TESTING.  Detailed guidance for performance testing
    Protective Force programs is found in Chapter VII.  However, for general
    purposes, exercises of various types shall be included in the training
    process for the purposes of achieving and maintaining skills and
    assessing individual and team competency levels.  The types and
    frequency of training exercises shall be approved by the Head of the
    Field Element and may be determined by the training needs analysis
    conducted as part of the training program.

    a.   Exercises shall be conducted involving each shift of the protective
         force.  These exercises are to be planned so as to test the
         protective force's ability to prevent the successful completion of
         adversarial acts defined in the approved site-threat statement.

    b.   Personnel assigned Special Response Team responsibilities shall be
         required to participate in training exercises at least monthly.
         Such exercises will involve the type of situations and scenarios
         appropriate to site-specific conditions.

    c.   Protective forces shall request the Federal Bureau of Investigation
         state, and local law enforcement agencies that would assist the
         protective force during an incident to participate in exercises at
         least annually.

    d.   Reports of each training exercise, summarizing results and problem
         areas, shall be prepared for management review and to aid in
         planning protective force activities.
