S. 3100: Personnel Oversight and Shift Tracking Act of 2025

This legislation, referred to as the Personnel Oversight and Shift Tracking Act of 2025, aims to improve the management and accountability of contract security personnel protecting federal properties. Here’s a breakdown of its main components:

Improved Data Collection and Performance Accountability

Within one year of the bill's enactment, the Director of the Federal Protective Service (FPS) is required to:

• Establish standards for collecting and analyzing covert testing data on security personnel's performance, including how to document failures and identify weaknesses.
• Conduct quarterly reviews of this data to find trends and areas needing improvement across federal facilities.
• Implement mandatory training for security personnel who do not meet performance standards during covert tests and oversee the contractor's improvement plans.
• Update training guidance based on findings from covert tests and emerging security threats.

Additionally, the Director must report annually to relevant congressional committees on the implementation of these activities, including challenges faced and any legislative recommendations needed.

Personnel Shift Management and System Modernization

Within 180 days of the bill's enactment, the FPS Director must:

• Evaluate the current personnel tracking system used for monitoring contract security personnel's availability and deployment.
• Decide whether to replace this system with a more reliable option or make necessary improvements to the existing system.
• Develop an implementation plan that outlines timelines for any changes and ensures effective communication with tenants regarding personnel shortages or absences.

A report detailing the findings from this evaluation, actions taken, communication effectiveness, and further recommendations must be submitted to Congress annually for three years after the initial evaluation.

Savings Clause

The bill specifies that it does not change the designation of contractor employees working on federal property, ensuring they are not categorized as federal employees under existing laws.

Relevant Companies

• SDC - Security companies that provide contract security services to federal properties may need to revise their training and operational protocols following this bill's implementation.
