Happy New Year, Facility Security Officers!
We at Seebald & Associates are riding quite a lot of momentum from 2016 as we embark on the New Year. Just last year our team increased to include four previous U. S. Coast Guard Captains of the Port, and we added two Master Instructors who will continue to provide monthly webinars and a host of services. We conducted record numbers of Facility Security Audits, FSO courses, classes for Personnel with Security Duties, and Security Awareness training. Our webinar attendance continues to grow, as seen in the latest episodes that focused on the TWIC Final Rule and its impacts on facilities. We even designed, developed, and launched a new Seebald & Associates web site. But enough lingering on the past...
2017 marks our 14th year in training, advising, and guiding FSOs like you to help you comply with federal laws, regulations, guidelines and policies. Together, we’ve made great strides toward reducing your corporate and maritime security risks by enhancing your facility’s security reliability and improving security at commercial maritime facilities across the country. And this year we look forward to doing more.
For example, we will publish weekly Blog posts complementing our monthly Webinars. January will be our month to highlight “Persons with Security Duties”(PSDs) during which we will discuss hiring, tasking, training and certifying your PSDs. There have been some nightmares that we have recently identified in our auditing. We’ve identified lessons learned and best practices that can help you improve your PSDs’ performance. Stay tuned for our Webinar announcement, which will be out tis week. Please take a moment to read the blogs and join us in the webinar.
In 2017 and beyond we introduce our Seebald & Associates Platinum Perks status. Because of the volume of reference material, training, drills, blogs, and SSIgrams accumulated over the last 13 years, we wanted to share this material with our clients, customers, and FSOs along with the best practices captured throughout the country. Platinum Perks will allow you to view training video blogs and can be your one-stop shop for material to help you fulfill your FSO responsibilities. If you have taken our FSO Course, or we have conducted your Audit, or written your FSP in the last year, then these services include Platinum Perks.
So please join us on our new website at www.seebald.com and peruse everything we have to offer.
Until next time, take a Security Moment with your fellow employees and stay Secure and Safe.

Dear Friends,
As we sit down with our friends and family for the Thanksgiving Holiday, I just want to thank you. Every year when I reflect back on the past year I think of all of the great people my team has worked with, taught, assisted and helped work through some difficult times. We consider you not only as clients but also part of the Seebald & Associates family. So I wanted to personally thank you and wish each and every one of you a Happy Thanksgiving!
Ed
