Personnel Oversight and Shift Tracking Act of 2025

This bill would require the Federal Protective Service (FPS) to implement new performance testing and improvement protocols for contracted security personnel at federal buildings, including the use of quarterly reviews and mandatory corrective training for individuals who fail covert tests. Additionally, the FPS would be required to assess and potentially upgrade its system for tracking the deployment of security personnel to ensure better monitoring of shift availability. The bill also proposes the creation of new procedures to provide federal building tenants with timely notifications regarding security personnel absences or coverage gaps.

This bill primarily affects the Federal Protective Service (FPS) and the private security personnel contracted to protect federal buildings. Federal building tenants are also impacted, as the bill requires new procedures to notify them of security personnel absences or coverage gaps. Additionally, the bill mandates reporting requirements for FPS to provide updates on these security improvements to Congress.

• Establishment of performance testing and improvement protocols. The Federal Protective Service (FPS) must create standards for collecting and analyzing covert testing data to identify operational trends. The bill requires quarterly analytical reviews and the implementation of mandatory corrective training for any contract security personnel who fail a covert test.
• Security training guidance updates. The FPS is directed to update its security training guidance to specifically address failed covert tests, emerging threats, and industry best practices.
• Assessment of personnel tracking and monitoring systems. The FPS must evaluate whether to replace or upgrade its current system for tracking the deployment and availability of contract security personnel. This includes developing an implementation plan with a timeline for any necessary updates or replacements.
• Tenant communication procedures regarding security gaps. The bill requires the FPS to develop procedures for providing timely and accurate notifications to federal building tenants regarding absences of contract security personnel or other gaps in security coverage.
• Congressional reporting requirements. The FPS must submit initial and annual reports to Congress regarding the implementation of performance protocols and the assessment of its personnel tracking systems.

The bill's requirements take effect upon enactment, with specific implementation deadlines for the Federal Protective Service including a 180-day window to assess tracking systems and a one-year deadline to establish performance testing protocols.

The bill modifies the operational requirements of the Federal Protective Service (FPS) by mandating new performance testing protocols and reporting standards for its existing contract security personnel programs. It also requires an assessment and potential upgrade of the current tracking system used by the FPS to monitor personnel deployment and availability.

The bill aims to enhance the performance and oversight of contract security personnel responsible for protecting federal buildings by requiring the Federal Protective Service to implement standardized performance testing, corrective training protocols, and improved systems for tracking personnel deployment and coverage gaps.
