<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 />

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 />

system that will<br />
cover no less<br />
than 15 cities<br />

operators. <strong>PSE</strong>’s<br />
designs allow<br />
for adaptation<br />
with evolving<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 />
