The Panofsky Auditorium was jam-packed for three sessions of the 1st Annual SLAC Security Briefing, held September 26. These one-hour briefings presented practical information about SLAC’s safeguards and security program, along with helpful tips anyone could use both at work and at home.

Presentations included site access, property protection, cyber security, emergency preparedness, and foreign travel tips in a post-9/11 environment.

Attendees were asked to fill out surveys asking for their opinion on the future direction of SLAC’s Integrated Safeguards and Security Management (ISSM) program. The results of the 325 returned surveys will be analyzed by the Directorate as they plan ahead for the "next best steps" in this area.

So far, the survey responses have shown that 96% of SLAC staff members felt confident supervisors would take security concerns seriously and would take appropriate action.

The "ISSM Expo" tables set up in the breezeway as an adjunct to the Annual Briefing garnered several positive comments from staff. Attendees were given many helpful handouts, plus ISSM promotional items such as calendars and key tags. Hundreds of free house keys were made on-the-spot.
