CHAPTER 5. SECURITY FORCES AND LAW ENFORCEMENT

5.1 General

The KSC security forces protect KSC personnel and assets from acts of violence, theft, sabotage, and other unlawful or hostile acts. The KSC security force consists of armed security officers and support personnel. In addition to NASA Special Agents, the PSO uses the KPSC to staff the majority of the security protection force. The KPSC employs sworn Security Police Officers who are authorized to make arrests when necessary. These officers are staffed throughout KSC to provide a variety of law enforcement and physical security functions. This chapter is not applicable to the NASA Office of Inspector General, whose duties and responsibilities are outlined in NPD 9800.1.

5.2 Authority

NASA PSO Special Agents and KPSC SPO shall make arrests and carry firearms in accordance with 14 C.F.R Part 1203B, Security Programs; Arrest Authority and Use of Force by NASA Security Force Personnel; and NPR 1600.1, Chapter 9, Federal Arrest Authority and Use of Force Training and Certification. KSC jurisdiction is within the KSC property boundaries, which includes Kennedy Athletic, Recreation, and Social Park I and Jay Jay Rail Yard. KSC has concurrent legislative jurisdiction.

CHAPTER 6. NATIONAL INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and the 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons highlighted the need to focus on improving emergency management, incident response capabilities, and coordination processes across the country. A comprehensive national approach, applicable at all jurisdictional levels and across functional disciplines, improves the effectiveness of emergency management and response personnel across the full spectrum of potential incidents and hazard scenarios (including but not limited to natural hazards, terrorist activities, and other manmade disasters). Such an approach improves coordination and cooperation between public and private agencies and organizations in a variety of emergency management and incident response activities. The National Incident Management System (NIMS) under the National Response Framework (NRF) sets forth the comprehensive national approach. KSC security forces shall utilize the NIMS approach in emergency response situations. Incident Commanders for security emergency responses are designated in accordance with Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD)-5 and KNPR 8715.2. On KSC the NASA Emergency Management Officer is responsible for implementing the NIMS.

CHAPTER 7. BADGES AND PASSES

7.1 General

This chapter establishes the requirements for issuing and controlling identification badges, temporary passes, and special badges used for access through KSC’s controlled entry gates.

KSC accepts all valid NASA Personal Identity Verification (PIV) credentials in accordance with

NPR 1600.4.

7.2 Responsibility

KSC personnel who request badges are responsible for the conduct of the individuals whom they sponsor. The KSC badge is to be used for the specific purpose that it was issued (e.g., a planned meeting or specific official activity) and not personal or family visits, personal business development, marketing, or solicitation.

7.3 Access to KSC and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station

7.3.1 Entry to KSC property or into controlled areas on KSC and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS) is a privilege that can be denied, suspended, or revoked by the PSO or designee.

7.3.2 Unless specifically approved by the CCS, no individual shall possess more than one NASA Identity. This provision does not limit the possession of required area permits or special access badges.

7.3.3 Individuals shall be badged through the appropriate badging office according to the worker’s primary work location (e.g., if working on a NASA contract or agreement they are badged by KSC, if working on a 45th Space Wing (45SW) contract or agreement they are badged by the 45SW). Badge applicants will meet all investigative requirements in accordance with the respective Agency’s governing policies. Badges will be mutually honored for admission through either installation’s perimeter gates for the purpose of traversing to the primary work location or to attend a meeting sponsored by that respective installation. Any changes to this agreement will be coordinated by each installation’s security office.

7.3.4 With the exception of visitors on KSC Visitor Complex tour buses and attraction sites, and news media during pre-approved special media events, all non-badged individuals with a valid need for access to KSC, and sponsored by a KSC employee, shall obtain a KSC badge at the KSC Badging Office prior to entry through a KSC perimeter gate. KSC badges are not issued at the CCAFS badging station.

7.3.5 During specific events where larger-than-normal news media attendance is expected, pre-approval with NASA PSO is coordinated to allow overlay badges for news media to be used in lieu of the normal KSC machine pass. These overlay badges are only issued at the KSC Press Accreditation Building on SR-3 (Kennedy Parkway).

7.3.6 There must be a legitimate business, educational, or special event need to badge and allow minors under the age of 16 on KSC. With the exception of special events such as KSC Family Day or Bring Your Children to Work Day where badges are not issued, all access requests for minors under the age of 16 must get approval from the PSO before the request is processed by the badging office.

RELEASED - Printed documents may be obsolete; validate prior to use.RELEASED - Printed documents may be obsolete; validate prior to use.

7.3.7 All foreign national badging must be entered into NASA Access Management System.

The 45SW does not recognize KSC vetting for foreign nationals. Refer to the Protective Services Office Web site, pso.ksc.nasa.gov, under the Personnel Security tab.

7.4 Badge Acceptance and Implied Consent

All individuals, by acceptance of a KSC badge and their presence on KSC, grant implied consent for the inspection of themselves and any property in their possession or control, and agree to abide by the regulations of KSC.

7.5 Display and Control of the Badge

KSC badges and passes are Government property. Each individual who is authorized access to KSC shall:

a. Wear the KSC badge in a visible location above the waist, unless otherwise deemed by security;

b. Surrender the badge for physical inspection on demand of a NASA Special Agent or KPSC officer, supervisor, authorized auditor, or access control personnel; and

c. Not photocopy or photograph (duplicate) KSC badges, or allow others to do so.

7.6 Lost Badge and Area Permit Reporting

7.6.1 NASA-issued identification badges are sensitive items that directly impact the safety and security of NASA employees, facilities, and property. All persons issued a KSC badge are responsible for safeguarding and accounting for it at all times, whether on or off Center.

a. Badge holders are required to submit a report to the KSC Badging Office by the next business day after discovering a badge was lost or stolen.

b. Badge holders who report a lost or stolen badge and subsequently recover their previous badge must turn it in to the KSC Badging Office on the next business day for accountability and destruction.

c. Damaged badges that are compromised or no longer functional shall be turned in to the KSC Badging Office. If Badging Office staff determine there are signs of tampering or attempts to alter the badge, the badge holder must provide a statement for a security police report before a replacement badge will be authorized for issuance.

d. Badges are NASA property and are not to be kept as souvenirs. Badges must be returned within two business days after an individual's affiliation with NASA has ended either directly by the badge holder or by the organization/company badging official.

7.6.2. The following administrative actions apply to all badge holders prior to the reissuance of a replacement badge:

a. A badge holder must report the loss or theft of a NASA-issued badge to the KSC Badging Office by the next business day after discovery using KSC Form 28-651.

b. Within five business days of reporting the loss/theft, the badge holder will appear in person at the badging office to confirm the badge is still lost or stolen and undergo the process for issuance of a new badge. In the case of PIV badges, until the new badge is processed and ready for issuance, the individual is issued a temporary visitor pass and key card (if needed) for area access.

c. The following administrative actions apply to all badge holders prior to the reissuance of a replacement badge:

(1) First loss/theft: the badge holder’s organizational representative, badging official, or sponsor must provide written acknowledgment to the KSC Badging Office stating they are aware of the circumstances regarding the badge holders reported loss/theft.

(2) Second loss/theft: the badge holder’s supervisor must provide the CCS with a written summary of actions taken to prevent any future occurrences. The CCS (or designee) will then issue the badge holder a security violation notice and give the badging office approval to process a replacement badge.

(3) Third loss/theft: suspension of access to NASA facilities for a period of time to be determined by the CCS in collaboration with employee relations if a civil servant or responsible badging official if a contractor.

d. Loss and subsequent recovery/turn-in of a badge will not be counted against the badge holder in the above administrative actions.

7.6.3. Failure to Return Badge Actions:

a. Badges are required to be returned to the badging office upon the end of a badge holder’s affiliation with KSC. Failure to return a badge will incur the same consequences listed above for lost or stolen badges.

b. Anyone who fails to return their badge upon the end of their affiliation with KSC and are subsequently found on KSC property will be charged with trespassing and debarred from entering KSC for one year.

7.6.4 NASA issued badges shall not be taken into a foreign country unless specifically authorized in accordance with official travel or temporary duty orders, or unless the foreign country is the employee’s permanent duty location.

7.7 Termination, Leave of Absence, Expiration of Contract, and Foreign Travel

7.7.1 When authorization to possess a PIV badge no longer exists (e.g., upon termination of employment, end of visit, leave of absence, or expiration of contract), the individual shall surrender the badge to the respective supervisor, human resources office, or security office.

7.7.2 Failure to turn in a badge at the end of KSC affiliation will result in being ineligible for a new badge until the individual either turns in the previously issued badge or submits a lost or stolen badge report to the badging office.

CHAPTER 9. SECURITY PROCEDURES FOR LABOR MANAGEMENT DISPUTES

(STRIKES)

9.1 General

This chapter establishes security policies and procedures for badging and access control during labor management disputes (i.e., strikes) at KSC.

In the event of a strike, this chapter details actions involving the Protective Services Office.

Additional actions may be required from the Center in accordance with NPR 5200.1.

NASA KSC recognizes the legal right of contractor employees and unions to engage in collective bargaining, including legitimate picketing when an impasse is reached during a labor dispute or labor contract negotiations. Although NASA KSC officials should not become involved directly or take sides based on the merits of any labor dispute, appropriate actions should be taken by NASA KSC to reduce or eliminate impact on its programs. This includes actions to ensure access to KSC by NASA personnel and by employees of other contractors who are not directly involved in the dispute.

9.2 Establishing and Enforcing the Use of Reserve Gates

9.2.1 In the event of a strike, KSC will implement a “reserve gate” policy.

9.2.2 Reserve gates are intended to provide the striking union and the affected contractor with similar conditions as if the dispute were taking place at the employer’s premises outside the NASA Center. This will be accomplished by directing all employees and suppliers of the struck contractor through designated KSC gates (i.e., reserve gates). The establishment of reserve gates allows the rest of the Center to conduct business operations without interference, thereby minimizing the impact to Center operations.

9.2.3 Subcontractors are not required to use the reserve gates unless they are performing struck work.

9.2.4 The struck contractor and union are notified by the KSC Industrial Relations Officer (IRO) that NASA KSC will strictly enforce the reserve gate policy. Any employee or supplier of the struck company who enters or exits the Center through a neutral gate (i.e., not a reserve gate) will be subject to sanctions at the Center level.

9.3 Labor Disputes Including Strikes and Picketing

9.3.1 When a union threatens or actually begins picketing, the following shall occur:

9.3.2 The KSC Industrial Relations Officer (IRO) shall:

a. Designate the reserve gates in coordination with the CCS.

(1) The gate(s) chosen will cause the least inconvenience to the largest number of people who will be working during the strike.

(2) Unless circumstances dictate, non-affected employees will not be restricted from using reserve gates.

RELEASED - Printed documents may be obsolete; validate prior to use.RELEASED - Printed documents may be obsolete; validate prior to use.

b. Notify, in writing, the local union and the struck contractor of the designated reserve gates. Seek the union’s cooperation to confine the pickets to the established reserve gate areas.

c. The above is not an all-inclusive list of the responsibilities for the IRO. IRO responsibilities are found in NPR 5200.1.

9.3.3 The KSC CCS shall:

a. Ensure the KPSC strike plan is up to date and that the contractor is prepared to establish reserve gates.

b. Ensure the KSC Institutional Services Contract has the appropriate reserve gate signs in storage and that they are in good condition. Signs may be placed in position but will remain covered until needed.

c. Notify local law enforcement of an impending strike.

d. Publish a Security Flash to all employees identifying the location of the reserve gate(s) and provide appropriate instructions on entering and leaving the premises during the term of the strike. The flash should explain in detail how employees of the struck contractor are to enter and leave the premises and describe the sanctions if the reserve gate procedure is not followed (see Reserve Gate Violations).

e. Ensure an event log is established to begin documenting information when the first strike action takes place. At a minimum, the record will contain significant events, times, places, and actions, with the name of the officials authorizing any actions. This log shall be maintained by the KPSC contractor unless directed otherwise by the CCS.

f. Notify the KSC IRO, and other management as appropriate, of all reserve gate violations.

g. Periodically provide the IRO with reports from each gate in regards to picketing and forms of demonstration.

9.3.4 The struck contractor shall:

a. Retrieve KSC access credentials (badges) from those employees who are striking. The collected badges will be turned over to the struck contractors badging official or management for safekeeping until the conclusion of the strike.

b. Ensure its employees receive the written reserve gate policy and procedures issued by the CCS and the employees are aware of the consequences for non-compliance.

c. Report violations or issues to the CCS, or designee, in a timely manner.

9.4 Reserve Gate Violations:

9.4.1 The NASA PSO shall investigate all credible evidence of reserve gate violations.

RELEASED - Printed documents may be obsolete; validate prior to use.RELEASED - Printed documents may be obsolete; validate prior to use.

9.4.2 Credible evidence includes records of the event including date, time, description of vehicle, vehicle tag number, photos, name of violator, etc.

9.4.3 Employees found to be in violation of the reserve gate policy shall be subject to sanctions imposed by the KSC Associate Director, Management.

9.4.4 Sanctions shall be assessed based on the following schedule:

a. First offense: Written reprimand.

b. Second offense: 30-day suspension of access to the Center.

c. Third offense: Revocation of access to the Center until termination of strike.

Note: Suspension or revocation of access privileges does not preclude a contractor from providing employment off Center.

CHAPTER 10. PHYSICAL SECURITY REQUIREMENTS FOR NASA FACILITIES AND

PROPERTY

10.1 General

The PSO is responsible for applying and maintaining the appropriate physical security measures to provide for the protection of persons, missions, information, and property. To fulfill this responsibility, the PSO utilizes a variety of security assessment processes to identify and mitigate security weaknesses and vulnerabilities. The PSO uses the results from these assessments to implement the requirements in NPR 1600.1, NPR 1620.2, and NPR 1620.3.

The methodology used in these documents meets the Interagency Security Committee standards and satisfies the requirements of Homeland Security Presidential Directive - 7 (HSPD-7), Critical Infrastructure Identification, Prioritization, and Protection.
