SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Critical Infrastructure Key Resources 
(CIKR) Asset Protection Technical Assistance Program (CAPTAP) offers 
State and local first responders, emergency managers, and other 
homeland security officials training to develop comprehensive CIKR 
protection programs in their respective jurisdictions; access to the 
Constellation/Automated Critical Asset Management System (C/ACAMS) 
tools for using CIKR asset data, prevention and protection information;

then train their colleagues through CAPTAP services. The survey 
measures customer satisfaction with the training provided through the 
CAPTAP TTT course. The C/ACAMS Program Management Office (PMO) is 
administered out of the Infrastructure Information Collection Division 
(IICD) in the Office of Infrastructure Protection (IP). The survey data 
collected is for internal C/ACAMS PMO, IICD and IP use only. The C/
ACAMS PMO evaluates the CAPTAP TTT customer survey to determine levels 
of customer satisfaction with the CAPTAP TTT training and areas in need 
of improvement. The survey supports data-based decision making because 
it evaluates quantitative and qualitative data to identify improvements 
and identify significant issues based on what customers' experience. 
Obtaining current fact-based actionable data about the training allows 
the program to recalibrate its resources to address new or emerging 
issues.
