Description:

The RDC of Security and Tactical is a resource for all things security and tactical in the region. The RDC’s primary focus should be on matters of Public Safety. The RDC should encourage Chapters (by networking with Chapter Security Officers) to liaise with local Law Enforcement and help educate their members on Crime Prevention, personal and home security. An additional topic the RDC of Security can talk to chapter points of contact about is Ant‐Terrorism, provided the RDC is him or herself educated, remains up to date on current events and can speak intelligently on this topic without coming off as a fear monger (no value added there). Furthermore, the RDC of Security can also act as a Regional Safety representative (if qualified) and can promote safety awareness in the home and workplace as well as chapter/region/STAFLEEET activities. Safety awareness can also include Weapons Safety (real life weapons, like firearms) and Vehicle Safety (to include Motorcycle Safety) along with the aforementioned Ground Safety. Of course when it come to the other side of the job (the fun side) An ideal RDC of Security should be well versed in tactics and strategy as seen in the Star Trek universe to include ship’s defenses, armed/unarmed self defense, and other Star Trek related security and tactical protocols. This type of knowledge can be shared throughout the regional membership for use in role play, gaming, trivia, and other related activities. Finally, The RDC of Security should know a thing or two (but ideally be the Region’s expert) in the area of Convention Security. The RDC should be encouraged to take the SFA courses on Convention Security and in turn, encourage the Chapter POCs and other interested members to do the same. One last thing, the RDC of Security should be willing to accept the position of Chief of Security for the Regional Summit, or similar regional events. This person should be familiar with aspects of convention security and/or professional or military security. Education and information should be provided on a regular basis. A Facebook group is encouraged and must be maintained and kept active. Posts pertaining to security or safety, with practical and every day uses, are required to be posted to the Region One Facebook Pages on a weekly or bi‐weekly basis

• Passed OCC.
• Reliable internet .
• Reliable e‐mail.

OVERALL RDC REQUIRED JOB DUTIES

How the RDC runs their department is pretty much up to them. However there are certain duties that apply to ALL RDCs. These include:

• Make your RDC program one that provides value and interest to the region!
• Monthly reports to the RDC Program Director are due on or before the 5th of EVERY month. Missing 2 reports in a row will get the RDC a warning. Missing 3 or more reports in a row is grounds for dismissal from the position. (BUT, the RDC Program Director can be very understanding if they know what they are being understanding about. If circumstances cause you to miss a report or two … don’t wait until you get a warning to call or write and say you have been very busy with something. Instead, you should send a note, e‐mail or regular mail saying what is causing you to miss this report before it is due or as soon after it is due as possible.) Missing 3 reports in any one calendar year is grounds for dismissal. 
• Post to the Facebook AT LEAST every two weeks.
• Stay in contact with those ships who provide you with names and addresses of a contact person. Don’t make communication a one way street. After a while your contact person will get tired of sending in reports if they never know if it arrived or not. When you get a report, let the person reporting know.
• Send a recent photo of yourself if you are chosen for the RDC webpage.
