Drills &

exercises

Drills and exercises - general requirements

do their jobs at all security levels, and

identify any security-related deficiencies which need to be addressed

Objectives

Responsibility To test how well port security personnel can:

The PFSO must ensure that drills and exercises are carried out at appropriate intervals

Drills & exercises must take into account Part B of the ISPS Code

To test the effective implementation of the PFSP

Allowances

May be conducted with other emergency response activities

Drills and exercises - general requirements

DRILLS

Frequency. At least every 3 months (or if warranted)

Focus. Individual elements of the PFSP (incl security threats)

Factors to consider. Types of port facility operations, port facility personnel changes, vessel types serviced

Port personnel

Personnel must be familiar with the PFSP and trained in the processes and procedures to be tested.

Should be carried out at least once a year with no more than 18 months between exercises

Type of exercises should vary

Should test:- communication- coordination- resource availability- response

EXERCISES

May be limited to the port facility

May be inter-agency

May vary in complexity

Drills and exercises - general requirements

Requests for ship participation needed

PFSO participation in exercises is required by the ISPS Code

DRILL

Additional guidance - definitions

EXERCISE

A simple activity that tests an individual element of the PFSP

A more complex activity that tests several (or all) port security functions at the same time

eg

Access control

Container tampering

Dangerous goods

Drills help prepare port security personnel for more complex exercises

Drills US Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program 2006

A coordinated, supervised activity usually employed to test a single task, procedure or function in a single agency

• To provide training in the use of new equipment

• To develop or test new policies or procedures

• To practice and maintain current skills

definition

purpose

Exercises

A more complex activity in which several functions are coordinated and tested

• To promote emergency preparedness • To test or evaluate emergency

operations, policies, plans, procedures or facilities

• To train personnel in emergency response and to demonstrate operational capabilities

Security personnel duties

Security threats

Security measures

•How well do security personnel perform their duties?

•How effective are the security measures in protecting the port facility from security threats?

•How effective is the entire security system?

Port security personnel duties

Drills & exercises should test how well security personnel can do their jobs

Current security threats and patterns

Techniques used to avoid security measures

Weapons, and dangerous substances and devices

Characteristics and behaviour of persons who are likely to threaten security

Crowd management and control techniques

Security-related communications

Security equipment and systems (operation, testing, calibration, maintenance)

Inspection, control and monitoring techniques

Methods of physical searches

KNOW

RECOGNIZE & DETECT

USE

Key security threats

Damage to, or destruction of, the port facility or of the ship, eg by explosive devices, arson, sabotage or vandalism

Damage to, or destruction of, the port facility or of the ship, eg by explosive devices, arson, sabotage or vandalism

Unauthorized access or use (incl. stowaways)Unauthorized access or use (incl. stowaways)

Smuggling weapons or equipment (incl. WMD)Smuggling weapons or equipment (incl. WMD)

Tampering with cargo, key ship equipment or systems, or ship’s stores

Nuclear, biological and chemical attackNuclear, biological and chemical attack

Types of security threats

Use of the ship to carry terrorists & their equipment

Use of the ship to carry terrorists & their equipment

Use of the ship as a weapon or means to cause damage or destruction

Use of the ship as a weapon or means to cause damage or destruction

Hijacking or seizure of the ship or of persons on board

Hijacking or seizure of the ship or of persons on board

Port security measures

Drills & exercises should test how effective port security measures are

Ensure security performance

Control access to the port facility

Monitor port facility

Monitor restricted areas

Supervise cargo handling

Supervise handling ship’s stores

Ensure security communication is readily available

The bottom line

Use drills and exercises often enough so that

emergency response becomes

automatic, where personnel respond immediately when the real thing happens, instead of having to think about it first, or going back to manuals for guidance, or panicking and losing control

The bottom line

Conducting drills and exercises helps the port facility:

Know if people can effectively perform their security duties

Know if the system is working well or what needs to be improved

Learn from mistakes

Give people the confidence that the system will respond in case of an actual threat or incident

What is a security drill?

Now for a quick drill

Give an example of a drill.Explain what happens.

The PFSO is responsible for security drills and exercises at the port facility.

TRUE OR FALSE?

What is a functional exercise?

If a ship is in port during a drill or exercise, the port can require the ship to participate in the activity.

TRUE OR FALSE?

The scope of a functional exercise can range from a single function to several functions, from one agency to several agencies.

TRUE OR FALSE?

Give an example of a functional exercise. What happens here?

DRILLS should prepare security personnel and other port facility personnel for more complex exercises

TRUE OR FALSE?

What is a full-scale exercise?

Give an example of a full-scale exercise.Explain what happens.

Drills and exercises should be based on(a) what the PFSO decides to do(b) instructions from the Government(c) the requirements of the Port Facility Security Plan

When developing drills & exercisesjust stick to what Part A of the ISPS Code says

TRUE OR FALSE?
