Utah State Courts – Maintaining a Safe Courthouse in Uncertain Times -
The Utah State Courts is being proactive rather than reactive in dealing with security planning. Every day, they need to let employees and visitors into their facilities and at the same time, keep narcotics, knives, firearms, weapons, and explosives out. Carol Price, Director of Security at the Utah State Courts, has selected the Safe Passage International, Inc. to provide web-based training in order to support the Utah State Courts security plan. The Courthouse Screening Training Package emphasizes security checkpoint, X-ray equipment and metal detector training, and image interpretation skill development. It teaches security personnel how to properly screen people and their belongings to ensure dangerous good and prohibited items are detected during the screening process.
Security practices are continuously impacted by challenges such as shrinking budgets, the complacency of building occupants, and the changing nature of threats. “The safety risks associated with courthouse facilities can be minimized with the use of technology and through screener checkpoint skill development and testing,” said Raymond Wahl, Director of Sales, Safe Passage International. “A court security program that effectively utilizes pro-active measures will undoubtedly realize a substantial increase in both security and safety levels. The objectives of deterrence, prevention, and detection can be met by involving key individuals in security planning, determining appropriate basic responses - which should take the form of official policies and procedures, and routine training for all personnel.”

SPI’s Director of Product Development Selected to Present at New Learning Technologies 2012 Conference -
Safe Passage International, Inc. is proud to announce that Charles Forty, Director of Product Development, has been chosen to be a speaker at the upcoming New Learning Technologies 2012 Conference. The first annual conference, sponsored by the Society for Applied Learning Technology (SALT), is focused on bringing together senior professionals from various industries to present the latest developments in the field of learning and training technologies.
Charles Forty joined Safe Passage International in 2005 and currently serves as Director of Product Development. He has over ten years of experience designing, developing, and delivering computer based, web based, and instructor led training. In his upcoming presentation, Using Your LMS to Provide a Personalized Learning Experience, Mr. Forty will explain how a Learning Management System (LMS) with a one-size-fits-all training approach cannot be truly effective unless it allows for differentiated instruction.
“By incorporating advanced algorithms into your LMS that automates tracking of student data, training efficiency can be maximized,” said Charles Forty, Director of Product Development, Safe Passage International. “Your LMS can automatically focus on the knowledge gaps of students. Therefore, they are not re-taught on what they already know, but rather tested on their weakness areas. A customized LMS allows you to deliver rich, engaging training and best of all, it can all be done automatically within your LMS.”

Safe Passage Releases Dual View Simulators to Offer Screeners an Authentic Experience -
Safe Passage International, Inc. is pleased to announce the development of Dual View simulators that mirror the advanced capabilities of dual monitor X-ray systems. As part of an initiative to improve screening technologies at security checkpoints, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has been supporting the use Advanced Technology (AT) Checkpoint X-ray systems. ATs improve threat detection and provide clear, high-definition X-ray images. AT units that support multiple X-ray views improve the screener's ability to detect threats and enhances the screener's effectiveness.
Safe Passage is the first to offer an adaptive training simulator that uses two monitors to mirror the actual capabilities to the X-ray system. For each bag scanned, the screener is provided with a horizontal and vertical X-ray view of scanned item. Multiple views eliminate the need to rescan items and offer multiple X-ray angles of the scanned item for better detection rates.
"Dual View simulators emulate the capabilities of the X-ray system to provide screeners with an accurate experience," said Charles Forty, Director of Product Development, Safe Passage International. "By using the simulator, screeners understand how to use the multiple view X-ray system and they become accustomed to operating a machine with multiple monitors rather than the traditional single monitor systems. These simulators offer an authentic experience that prepares screeners for an operational setting."
Safe Passage's Dual View simulators are an effective way to simulate the machine's functions. A modified version of the Dual View training simulator has also been developed to support a single monitor. Both are designed to integrate seamlessly into Safe Passage's TMS.

"DHL is a very forward thinking company," said Michael Rooksby, Chief Operating Officer, Safe Passage International.
