OPSEC is not a passive discipline.
OSPA believes that it is important to "bring" OPSEC to those that need it most through community involvement, outreach and networking. To achieve this goal, OSPA stays active (and proactive) in certain fields, such as Military/Government security, Community Safety, Personal security, Law enforcement, Schools safety, Corporate security and more.
What follows is a partial list of projects in which OSPA is currently invovled in the Civilian/Community sector:
- Deployment OPSEC for K-12 Children
OSPA has created a pilot program designed to teach the Children of deploying Military Service-members safety skills relating to Operations Security (OPSEC). In essence, the program is designed to give Children the resources to properly protect a) the unprecedented amount of National security information to which they have access (deployment dates, locations, missions, etc) and b) the families themselves by limiting the amount of information that may be inadvertently released by the k-12 Children at home or abroad.
- OPSEC for domestic violence centers
Domestic violence outreach centers are indispensable resource for the many people affected by domestic violence. OSPA is currently working with several domestic violence centers in order to provide OPSEC resources and education for children, adults and center staff. The goal of this program is to help ensure the safety of residents/clients, as well as the secrecy of the facility.
