Nations Will Cooperate To Build Security Institutions And
Practices
TSA and the Georgian United Transport Administration (UTA)
announced a cooperative effort in Tblisi, Georgia Tuesday to
enhance aviation security.
With the signing of a Joint Statement of Intent between the TSA
and the UTA, both agencies pledged to partner in a comprehensive
program of aviation security enhancements, including plans for
comprehensive assessments, developing targeted aviation security
programs and sharing best practices.
"The collaboration between TSA and the Georgian United Transport
Administration emphasizes each agency's commitment to aviation
security worldwide," said Cindy Farkus, Assistant Administrator for
TSA's Office of Global Strategies. "Through this partnership, both
nations will further strengthen the global transportation network
by developing sustainable security practices."
To support this partnership, TSA has deployed an Aviation
Security Sustainable International Standards Team (ASSIST), a group
of veteran security experts, to collaborate with Georgian aviation
security officials. The ASSIST group and their UTA counterparts
will assess such aviation security program aspects as training
needs, equipment, and current aviation security laws and
regulations. Following the initial survey, TSA and UTA will work
together to effectively build sustainable aviation security
institutions and practices.
The ASSIST program is part of TSA's ongoing efforts to promote
the secure movement of people and commerce worldwide. Through
ASSIST, TSA has identified a number of international
lessons-learned and best practices regarding aviation security. TSA
plans to expand this program to additional nations in the
future.
