TSA's 'Loaned Executive' Program
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) invites senior-level transportation security officials to participate in its Loaned Executive Program, which expands its information sharing capability to public transit agencies.
Executives from Amtrak and the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority have participated in the program, which began on a pilot basis last year.
Selected individuals will work directly with TSA’s surface division during a six-week assignment at TSA headquarters in Arlington, VA. Participants are required to have a minimum “Secret” clearance level and are typically high-ranking security professionals such as deputy chiefs of police whose agencies cover expenses of the loaned executive while he or she is participating in the program.
The loaned executives have the opportunity to visit sister public transit agencies and learn about such topics as current and emerging science and technology initiatives, TSA’s explosive ordnance division and cross-modal groups.
For details, contact Fred Goodine.
