Where can I find the rules and regulations for a Federal facility? Further information regarding certain prohibited illegal items such as weapons, explosives, and narcotics can be found at 18 U.S.C. The prohibited items list is maintained by FPS contracted Protective Security Officers (PSOs) that operate the screening posts of the facility. The prohibited items list is developed by the Facility Security Committee or Designated Official at each Federal facility.
Where can I find the prohibited items list for a facility? If the Facility Security Committee does not have a prohibited items list, FPS by default will use the Interagency Security Committee’s recommended prohibited items list. For example, sporting equipment, such as a hockey stick, baseball bat, or golf clubs might be listed as prohibited items at a Federal facility. Facility Security Committees can also prohibit otherwise legal items that they perceive could be used to cause harm to the Federal facility or persons thereon. For example, it is illegal to attempt to enter a Federal facility with weapons, explosives, incendiary devices, and illicit drugs, even if it is legal to possess a firearm or drugs in a state or city. The prohibited items list may include both legal and illegal items. Pursuant to the Interagency Security Committee Standard, Items Prohibited from Federal Facilities, each Facility Security Committee or Designated Official should develop a facility-specific list of prohibited items. What types of items are prohibited from entry into Federal property? A prohibited item may be legal or illegal in nature.
Federal Protective Service defines a prohibited item is an item that is restricted from entry into a facility by Federal, state or local law, regulation, court order, rule, or by the Facility Security Committee.
