The International Security Driver Association helps its members become constant learners by opening the door to their curiosity.

SEMESTER PROJECT Description
Introduction to the Company:
Security Transport Professionals Incorporated (STP), has its home office located in Lexington, Kentucky and in addition has more than 3,000 employees located in each of its branch offices located in Houston, Texas and San Diego, California.
STP is primarily a nationwide freight hauler. Its customer are comprised of major market retailers particularly in the medical and pharmaceutical industry, the federal government, and several state governments. STP operates a fleet of trucks and private cargo planes that it uses to move “goods” belonging to its customers from one destination to another across the continental United States. Its fleet of truck carriers are located in Lexington, Kentucky with it planes located in Louisville, Kentucky.
STP carries and transports highly controlled, narcotics and scheduled prescription drugs, toxic, radioactive, nuclear, and top secret materials from one facility belonging to its customer to another. The method of transport depends on the type of cargo being hauled. In addition to hauling/forwarding its customers products/goods, STP is required from time to time to store its customer goods for brief periods of time. Two years ago STP began contracting with a number of subcontractors hereafter referred to as either “limited joint partners (LJPs)” or “independent subcontractor alliances (ISAs)” for the purpose of expanding its freight forwarding, storage, and delivery service. Due to the confidential nature of the freight that it transports, STP vets its employees, as well as any subcontractors (LJPs and ISAs) that it engages.
STP’s business objectives and goals include the confidential, safe and secure movement of its customer goods, from the customer/distributor to its client, or from one of its customer’s locations to another of the customer’s locations in a timely and efficient manner using costeffective methods. Alternatively, STP may transfer this responsibility to one of its limited joint partners (LJPs) or independent subcontractor alliances (ISAs), if it is more cost-effective and the income differential is within acceptable limits. There are 3 LJPs with which STP had entered into contracts. LJPs are corporate organizations in the same industry that offer essentially the same services as STP, and who are generally competitors of STP. However, when the job requires resources that exceed those of STP or its competitor, the two will enter into an agreement to jointly undertake the contract together, and will together provide the same full range of services, with both entering into the same contract or joint venture with the customer.
Independent subcontractor alliances (ISAs) differ from Limited Joint Partners (LJPs) in that a ISA is not a direct competitor of STP. Rather, the ISA is a company that offers a subset of services to STP, or contracts with STP to provide it with necessary resources to perform the particular job at h.

Independent subcontractor alliances (ISAs) differ from Limited Joint Partners (LJPs) in that a ISA is not a direct competitor of STP.

12. Who should attend?

If you manufacture goods and high value products, TAPA membership should
be critical to the success of your business, safeguarding your goods, ensuring
customer orders are fulfilled and protecting your business reputation and
financial performance. The Association’s Security Requirements are
recognized globally as the industry standard for cargo facility and transport
security. TAPA regularly consults at the highest level of relevant government
departments and with law enforcement agencies to support the requirements
of its members in their campaign to reduce crime. TAPA statistics prove that
its members are measurably reducing cargo crime compared to the rest of the
industry.
13. Who should attend?

As logistics operators, you need to ensure that you meet and exceed the
requirements of your customers and likewise ensure that suppliers involved in
your supply chain processes are aligned as well.
TAPA Standards are now incorporated into most Global, Regional and Local
Contracts, Service Level Agreements and Statements of Work. Your leaders in
Operations, Transport (Air, Ocean, and Land), Logistics, Facilities and Loss
Prevention professionals are the ideal candidates for the FSR and TSR Training
to ensure that the standards are implemented and awareness are cascaded
across your entire organization.
14. Who should attend?
If you are a Trucking Provider, Air Carrier and / or Air Cargo Terminal Operator
Cargo crime is one of the biggest supply chain challenges for manufacturers of
high value, high risk products and their logistics service providers. The Trucking
Security Requirements (TSR) and TAPA Air Cargo Security Standards (TACSS) have
been established by security professionals within the high-tech industry to address
the nature by which high-tech products and materials are transported by road and
air. The TSR and TACSS specifies the minimum acceptable security standards for
assets traveling throughout the supply chain and the methods to be used in
maintaining those standards.
TAPA members need reputable Telematics partners to provide professional &
technically qualified systems to monitor modes of transportation involving high
value targeted theft (HVTT) cargo. Any failure to provide these minimum
specifications could result in the control measures being compromised and
increase the chances of a theft occurring.
15. Who should attend?
If you are Security Service Providers or a Security Management Professional
As a security provider, it is important to be knowledgeable on the security
requirements of your clients, whether they are into manufacturing or as a logistics
/ supply chain provider. Being a trained member of TAPA will align your programs
with those of your clients and shall likewise demonstrate your commitment and
drive towards service excellence. Having the TAPA standards, membership and logo
shall highlight your competitive edge and elevate your professional status in your
industry.
As a security practitioner, TAPA training can form part of your continuing education
and professional advancement even if you are not currently engaged in logistics
and supply chain. These training shall enable you to have better understanding of
the requirements of the industry and serve as your added qualifications and
credentials in the logistics loss prevention profession. You can likewise adapt both
FSR and TSR as best practices in your current security field.
