Are some DOE Security Police Officers (SPOs) more highly trained than others?
Yes. Since DOE SPOs are categorized by different levels, a building block approach to requirements has been established. For instance, DOE Security Officers (SOs) (who are unarmed) receive training on baseline protective force requirements. In addition to the SO requirements, SPO-Is (who are armed) receive firearms, use of deadly force, and arrest authority training. SPO-IIs must also receive Tactical Response Force training. In addition to all the other training, SPO-IIIs receive training in Special Response Team requirements.
