Terrorists often use parked cars or trucks to carry, conceal or serve as bombs, so the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) are offering a free parking-specific training program for local government officials. The training comes in the form of DHS and TSA’s First Observer software module.<\/p>\n
The First Observer training program, which is entirely funded by the federal government, trains parking professionals to address five critical security areas: on-street, surface parking lots, garages\/decks, special events and shuttle operations. First Observers recognize and report potential threats using a concise, accurate and simple communications process.<\/p>\n
