Description:Port and Vessel Security for Public Safety and Maritime Personnel is an eight-hour training program designed to educate rural public safety officials and personnel in maritime jurisdictions who may respond to maritime incidents. The inland waterways of the maritime system encompass many high risk terminals that are located outside large municipalities but which share the same risk factors as larger ports. This course will assist the public safety community in understanding the unique and complex security needs of maritime facilities and vessels. Through this course, first responders will gain a better understanding of the criticalities of the maritime system, thereby increasing their ability to defend it. The training will also enable first responders to better assist the facilities and vessels with the orderly, secure, and safe flow of commerce that is vital to all maritime communities and to the nation.
