What is a primary goal of threat assessments conducted by FPS?

The primary goal of threat assessments conducted by the Federal Protective Service (FPS) is to identify potential risks and vulnerabilities. This process involves analyzing various factors that could pose a threat to federal facilities or personnel, which allows for proactive measures to be implemented for risk mitigation and enhancing security protocols. Through a thorough assessment, FPS can understand the nature of potential threats, enabling them to develop strategies to address and manage these risks effectively, ensuring the safety and security of their environments.

Evaluating employee performance, determining budgetary needs, and enforcing disciplinary actions, while important in their own contexts, do not align with the primary focus of threat assessments. The latter aims specifically at understanding and addressing security threats rather than assessing individual employee contributions or financial considerations.
