The primary responsibility of the RSO is to create a safe environment in which the U.S. Government can carry out its diplomatic mission. The RSO does this by instituting procedures and countermeasures that make it more difficult for our personnel and facilities to be targeted by hostile elements. In addition to serving as the Ambassador’s principal liaison with host country law enforcement, the RSO conducts criminal and personnel investigations, assists other U.S. law enforcement agencies, reports on incidents involving terrorism and crime, assesses and maintains technical security equipment.
The RSO provides security related guidance and training to Chief of Mission Personnel, the Royal Thai Police, as well as to the American private sector. The RSO also coordinates the protective elements for visiting VIP’s.
