The SECURITY PLAN supports OCPT's efforts to address and resolve critical incidents on our property and within our community. Critical Incidents—Critical Incidents could include accidents, natural disasters, sabotage, civil unrest, hazardous materials spills, criminal activity, or acts of terrorism.

Critical incidents must be stabilized prior to the resumption of regular service or activities. And successful resolution of critical incidents typically requires cooperative efforts by a variety of responding agencies. The overall purpose of the OCPT SECURITY PLAN is to optimize --within the constraints of time, cost, and operational effectiveness --the level of protection afforded to OCPT's passengers, employees, volunteers and contractors, and any other individuals who come into contact with the system, both during normal operations and under emergency conditions.
