COMMISSARY TERRORISM THREATS ASSASSINATIONS KIDNAPPING HIJACKING THEFT ROBBERIES CHEMICAL/ BIOLOGICAL BOMBINGS
“There is no better terrorist target than a DoD Dependent School, Exchange or Commissary . . .” BGen. James Dozier November 3, 1983
Commissary Vulnerabilities • Robberies, burglaries, product diversions and van hijackings to help finance terrorist operations. (NPA, Philippines 1975 – 1989) • Assassination and kidnapping of senior officers or their spouses that may be shopping or otherwise present within a commissary. • Random acts of violence such as drive-by shootings and bombings aimed at disrupting the quality of life, inciting fear and publicity. (Ankara Turkey; Ramstein AB, Germany)
Commissary Vulnerabilities, Cont. • Intentional contamination of food products with chemical or biological agents. • Use of DeCA bound delivery vehicles, shipping containers or other transportation/ shipping mediums to smuggle contraband, weapons, or explosives across international boundaries or onto military installations. (CDC delivery, Turkish Boarder, 1993)
Commissary Vulnerabilities, Cont. • As collateral damage resulting from an attack or event on a host installation. • Use of DeCA affiliation to gain sponsorship onto otherwise secure military installations for nefarious activities (to commit espionage, crime, terrorism, etc).
Mitigating Threats • Anticipate the threat. • Plan for the threat. • Construct/Renovate for the threat. • Crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) • DoD Minimum Antiterrorism Standards for Buildings • Train/Exercise for the threat.
Physical Security Basics • PURPOSE. Physical security is primarily directed at the prevention of losses resulting from forced or unauthorized entry. • The degree of protection required varies depending upon location, structural design of the facility, value of commissary resources, and periods when the premises are unmanned or unguarded.
Personnel Security Program Because you never quite know who your going to get!
DeCA Security Programs • Personnel Security • Your first opportunity to protect your accountability from employee theft! • If they stole at their last employer, • what makes you think they • won’t steal from you??
Background Investigations • National Agency Check with Inquiries (NACI) • MINIMUM investigation for ALL Civil Service Employees working within DoD. • Criminal History Check • FBI Fingerprint Check • Credit Check • Reference/Former Employer/Education Checks
~85% of all losses are due to theft • ~48% is cased by employees and other store workers • ~33% is caused by shoplifters
According to the National Crime Prevention Institute: 10% of store workers & patrons will never steal regardless of the temptation. $
10% of employees and patrons will steal without regard for the security controls in place.
The key to good security is knowing that: • 80% of store workers & patrons will not steal from you unless: • They think they wont get caught. • They rationalize that “DeCA owes them.” • They “need” the money/merchandise. • They feel they’re being treated unfairly. • They perceive “Everyone's doing it.”
How does theft happen? • Lax internal controls. • Feeling of “It can’t happen to me!” • Bypassing internal controls for “convenience.” • Theft is a crime of opportunity!
