Policing and Security Practices for Small- and Medium-Sized Public Transit Systems.

摘要

This report broadens the current state of practice and identifies and responds to the specific challenges and issues associated with the security of small- and medium-sized transit agencies. Following the five stages of protection activity (prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery), the report provides baseline options and identifies potential security countermeasures that could be deployed by both small- and medium-sized transit agencies. This information is contained in numerous tables including specific information about (1) existing countermeasures in place at small- and medium-sized agencies, (2) an exhaustive and scalable list of prospective countermeasures that are available for deployment, and (3) spotlighted best practices that transit agencies are using to reduce security-related risks. For the purpose of this report, a small transit agency is defined as serving a population of less than 50,000 people whereas a medium agency serves a population of between 50,000 and 100,000 people. TCRP Report 180 is a reference document, intended primarily for transit agency personnel without a security background whose work requires them to address, perform, or supervise security activities as a part of their overall job responsibilities.
