<strong>Security</strong>.<br />

<strong>Homeland</strong> <strong>Security</strong><br />

The Department of <strong>Homeland</strong> <strong>Security</strong><br />

necessitates the use of performance based<br />

standards as found in the Code of Federal<br />

Regulations to prevent and protect against<br />

attacks, safeguard continued operation,<br />

and comply with federal requirements. <strong>PSE</strong><br />

covers sectors such as Energy, Chemical,<br />

Pharmaceutical, Transportation, Healthcare<br />

and Agriculture.<br />

Our ability to meet the demands required by the Department of <strong>Homeland</strong> <strong>Security</strong><br />

and the Code of Federal Regulations is a testament to the capabilities we provide. By<br />

meeting the best practices and performance based standards required in each sector,<br />

<strong>PSE</strong> is capable of providing specific recommendations, operations, and designs.<br />

Following DHS regulations and screenings, understanding and dissecting the Code of<br />

Federal Regulations, our services ensure new and existing sites are prepared for terrorist<br />

activities, sabotage, natural disasters, and crisis recovery.<br />

Facility Hardening<br />

Facility Hardening requires the evaluation of the risks and threats making a facility<br />

vulnerable to internal and external threats. Catastrophic events are reviewed, both<br />

natural and man-made, intentional and unintentional, as well from insiders and outsiders.<br />

We “harden” the ability for a facility to withstand these events requires the identification,<br />

reduction and elimination of the possible threat. We will assess the likelihood, nature,<br />

and consequence of acts, events, or existing conditions that would threaten the<br />

sustainability of a facility. Once an assessment is complete, we will issue appropriate<br />

recommendations to ensure the survivability of a facility. The following steps are part of<br />

our Facility Hardening process:<br />

❖❖Our Hazard Analysis determines the likelihood or chance of a hazardous event<br />

occurring and the consequences of such an event. This involves investigating<br />

multiple scenarios that could impact the continued operation of a site.<br />

❖❖Our Vulnerability Assessment will identify critical assets and areas within a site that<br />

necessitate protection. We understand site vulnerabilities, layout, operations, and<br />

infrastructure coupling with passive, “green,” and less costly solutions.<br />

❖❖Our recommendations provide specialized guidance and design for improvements<br />

and upgrades recommended to limit damage to the sites critical infrastructure and<br />

protect community and employee populations, while increasing productivity, and<br />

decreasing loss of time and product.<br />

Nationwide<br />

<strong>PSE</strong> was chosen<br />

by Amtrak to<br />

Emergency 9-1-1<br />

Dispatch Center<br />

with a modern<br />

system that will<br />

cover no less<br />

than 15 cities<br />

and nearly 150<br />

operators. <strong>PSE</strong>’s<br />

designs allow<br />

for adaptation<br />

technology to<br />

serve current<br />

and future<br />

needs.<br />

Professional Systems Engineering, LLC (<strong>PSE</strong>) provided consultant services including<br />

debriefing, interviews, historical analysis, technology requirements, specification<br />

preparation, RFP production, and bid analysis to replace Amtrak’s CHIEFS system<br />

public safety software. Amtrak’s existing system was nearly ten years old and no<br />

longer met Amtrak Police Department’s business needs. It did not keep pace with upto-date<br />

technological demands and proved labor-intensive to maintain. The existing<br />

central monitoring center is a national call center providing coverage for emergency,<br />

enforcement, disaster management, hazardous spill/contamination response and rail<br />

operations management with far-reaching, and sometimes overlapping jurisdictionalbased,<br />

automated response call-up. The new system includes the following components<br />

and capabilities:<br />

❖❖Computer-aided dispatch/geobase sensitive programming<br />

❖❖Records management system<br />

❖❖Internal affairs module for secure review<br />

❖❖Employee communications<br />

❖❖Personnel management module<br />

❖❖GIS mapping with national coverage and integrated/imported response<br />

jurisdiction mapping<br />

❖❖Custom reporting relating to train-specific information<br />

The new system will allow for effective real time dissemination of information regarding<br />

departmental productivity and crime trend analysis, which facilitates effective deployment<br />

of resources in conjunction with daily operational requirements as well as emergency<br />

deployments. This project demonstrates <strong>PSE</strong>’s ability to “prime” a sophisticated,<br />

nationally advertised consulting award and bring stakeholders technology support into<br />

a modern data and systems managed universe that will be deployed in at least 15 cities<br />

and covering almost 150 operators.<br />

Delaware County Emergency Services<br />

Emergency Operations Center Consulting & Design Coordination<br />

Delaware County, Pennsylvania<br />

An Emergency<br />

Operations<br />

Center (EOC) is a<br />

complex facility<br />

that serves as<br />

a nerve center<br />

during both small<br />

emergencies<br />

and large<br />

disasters. <strong>PSE</strong>’s<br />

EOC designs<br />

employ the latest<br />

state-of-the-art<br />

technology, to<br />

provide flexibility<br />

and technological<br />

resources<br />

to manage<br />

an incident<br />

effectively while<br />

keeping the<br />

operation simple<br />

and easy to<br />

manage.<br />

Professional Systems Engineering, LLC provided consulting and design coordination<br />

services through the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) to provide<br />

an Emergency Operations Center fit out to meet the needs of Delaware County,<br />

Pennsylvania in the event of a local, state, or federal emergency. The goal was to<br />

provide the capability of a scalable response to incidents ranging from small-scale<br />

fires and accidents to a countywide disaster response. By using the latest state of the<br />

art design, the <strong>PSE</strong> design allowed for the phased sequential escalation of response<br />

based on the requirements of the incident. This approach followed the Delaware County<br />

(DelCo) EOC Renovation Theory in that it separated the Unified Command group from<br />

the Operations and Planning group and the Logistics and Finance group. Senior elected<br />

officials will be sequestered from the Command group. News media and some liaison<br />

groups will be separated from the remainder by keeping them in a briefing area thus<br />

allowing for better management of the incident.<br />

The following rooms were utilized for the deployment of multimedia and communications<br />

technology: Privacy and Sequestering Room, EOC First Stage Activation Room,<br />

Unified Command/Joint Command Group Room and the EOC Full Activation Room. A<br />

multimedia control and feed was also provided to the DelCo 9-1-1 Emergency Response<br />

Center within the facility.<br />
