Abstract: Consistent with requirements in the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA) (Pub. L. 103-62; 107 Stat. 285, Aug. 3, 1993), the TSA Office of Training and Development (OTD) and the Canine Training Center (CTC) evaluates the instruction it delivers, through a range of courses, to train canines and their handlers. These handlers are primarily TSA personnel and State and local civilian personnel working for law enforcement agencies that are responsible for the security at airports throughout the United States. The courses include the CTC Explosives Detection Canine Handler Course, Passenger Screening Canine Handler Course, Bridge Course, Canine Technical Operations Course, and the Office of Security Operations (OSO) Canine Management Course. The information obtained from TSA Form 1904A, End of Course Level 1 Evaluation – Instructor-Led Classroom Training, which is provided to students following course completion, provides valuable feedback about the extent to which TSA personnel and State and local civilian personnel (“TSA students”) are satisfied with their learning experience, and is used to improve the course curriculum and course of instruction. Evaluating and improving the effectiveness and efficiency of instructional programs supports agency requirements, as dictated by GPRA, to improve government performance management.
