Determination of Training Requirements: Personnel Security Specialists (Adjudicators)
Abstract
In response to concerns about the reliability and validity of the personnel security clearance review process, the Personnel Security Research and Education Center (PERSEREC) as part of its research program sponsored this study titled Determination of Training Requirements--Personnel Security Specialists (Adjudicators). The specific objective was to identify ways to enhance on-the- job performance of adjudicators through training and skill development/ maintenance. The overall approach was to conduct exploratory interviews with four selected DoD components responsible for personnel security clearance determinations. The report presents interview findings separately for each of the four agencies, followed by a discussion of findings across the four agencies. Areas addressed include population description and organizational structure, types of cases handled and workload, source of new hires, data base access/development, training, and special agency needs. It was found that although each of the agencies interviewed has some of the components of a complete adjudicator enhancement program, none has an integrated personnel system that provides for the recruitment, selection, development and promotion of adjudicators. The report examines the extent to which components of such an integrated system exist and describes information relevant to each component.
