Learn about initiatives such as the BASE, SETA, T-Start, EXIS, First Observer Plus, and 5N5 programs, which offer tailored assessments, training, and tools to enhance security measures, emergency response, and collaboration with law enforcement. Discover cost-effective strategies to protect students, staff, and transportation assets while boosting community trust.  Our presenter Chris Morrison is a TSA Surface Inspector with the Boston Field Office, covering all of New England.
