Port, Maritime And Transit Security

“At the Port of New Orleans, we set a high standard for our port’s law enforcement agency, and we engaged ICP to lead strategic planning as part of organizational development efforts. ICP customized its portfolio of services for our needs and exceeded our expectations for flexibility, communication and professionalism. After leading us through a series of exercises, they delivered a high-quality document that set a clear pathway for continued success.”

– Brandy Christian, President and CEO, Port of New Orleans

Ports – land, air and water gateways to the U.S. – are essential hubs for our economy, but unfortunately, they are seen as valuable targets by terrorists or other bad actors who wish to disrupt the flow of trade, frighten travelers and create mass chaos and fear. Mass transit systems in urban areas are also vulnerable to terrorism and other threats.

Ports and transit agencies must work collaboratively with many agencies including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), state officials, regional task forces on narcotics and human trafficking, and local law enforcement and other first responders. The ability to work closely with a range of federal, state and local agencies can make a major difference in the effectiveness of security measures.
