U.S. Mint: Protection Program

The United States Mint Protection Program secures over $100 billion in market value of the nation's gold and silver reserves. The United States Mint Police protect assets while safeguarding United State Mint employees against potential threats at United States Mint facilities across the country.

Rating

What This Rating Means

PERFORMING
Effective

This is the highest rating a program can achieve. Programs rated Effective set ambitious goals, achieve results, are well-managed and improve efficiency.
  • The Mint has developed adequate long-term performance measures with ambitious targets and timeframes. The Mint's target for total losses is $250,000 in 2005 and $0 in 2010.
  • Mint's Protection program has a clear purpose, is well planned, and managed effectively. However, it is somewhat duplicative of other Federal efforts aimed at protecting money, such as the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and the Federal Reserve Police forces.
  • The Mint regularly achieves its annual performance goals and works with other law enforcement partners to assess threat levels and assist in achieving future goals. The Mint is a participant in the multi-agency Counter-Terrorism Program.

Improvement Plan
