This powerpoint presentation begins by providing a brief overview of Pima County Regional Wastewater Reclamation Department (PCRWRD). In 2006, there were no POTW security/vulnerability mandates, all sites functioned with open access emphasis and funding for security competed with POTW regulatory mandates. Five initial steps were requested by the Director, including: Install Security Guards at Regional Plants; Develop Security Master Plan (in-process); Establish Security Baseline; and, Provide Basic Security Requirements - low cost measures. The objectives were to: instill greater security at PCRWRD facilities using low cost methods; develop PCRWRD security culture change through competition, training, and random security checks; enhance security awareness and practices; establish a security baseline; and, develop tangible, measured security statistics. The security assessment approach and results are presented, along with 2008 security recommendations. Improvements include: automated main entrance gates with proximity card readers; investigators escorted while on-site; employees wearing ID badges; employees locking out computers when not present; and, employees are aware of contacts for reporting incidents.
