| Protective Services encompasses
Security, Fire, Emergency Response, and Command and Control.
We protect Spaceport assets while our firefighters, emergency
services and communication personnel stand trained and
ready to respond.
We provide all police functions; SWAT coverage for
elevated security and protection of astronaut crews
and space hardware; K-9 narcotics and bomb detection;
resource protection; and investigations and industrial
security. We operate the only NASA federal law enforcement
academy in the United States.
We provide fire suppression and rescue for all Spaceport
facilities and launch complexes, including all aircraft
arrivals and departures. Our training staff ensures
“core standards proficiency” and specialized skills
training. Our teams handle Hazardous Materials Response,
and our paramedics and emergency medical technicians
provide “advanced life support” medical assistance.
Our Joint Communication Control Center processes both
emergency and routine telecommunications. Our emergency
preparedness personnel operate and maintain the Spaceport’s
Emergency Operations Center and Mobile Command Center. |
