Communication Programs

Annual Yearbook We are in the process of publishing our 2010 Annual Yearbook.  This International Edition of the Port Security Journal will explore the issues, visit airports and seaport officials and review the new year. Corporate Partners and authority departments receive a special pricing.  Also we have limited space for commercial advertising that is suitable for the yearbook.  This large europe style coffee table book is not misplaced and will viewed by Members of Congress and their staff and law enforcement, public safety and security officials. Please contact us info@usportpolice.org  or call 202.595.9111 for details.

Document Knowledge Base & Open Source Briefings

We provide various open source information through the Knowledge Base.  These briefings focus on world events, security, significant federal transactions, and airport and seaport events.  We also keep a calendar available in the member section.  We look to provide information that is important to your operations.  Our team works to share information where appropiate across jurisdictions and countries. Each Monday for those on SRMX a weekly recap email is sent of all the weeks documents.

SSI and Law Enforcement Source Briefing

Qualified airport and seaport law enforcement, public safety and security officials are eligible for SSI and LE reports and alerts depending on ones qualified status.  USASP may distribute some open source material via email but the majority of information will be available on SRMX or the FBI law enforcement online under the U.S. Airport and Seaport Police SIG. Tuesday through Saturday a Report and Briefing email is sent out to officials on SRMX.  In addition to security and intelligence reports you will also find information on gangs, train and best practices shared from other government agencies and law law enforcement departments. If you or your deparment is intrested in other issues please bring them to our attention and we discuss posting such matters.

Agency - LEO/SEO Contacts  at Airports and Seaport in US/CA/UK

The U.S. Airport and Seaport Police in alliance with the International Association of Airport and Seaport Police maintains an airport and seaport command law enforcement and security department database, including key government agencies on SRMX.  You must be qualified to view the database.  Currently we maintain the security database for the countries of the United States, Canada and United Kingdom.  In addition we maintain key liaison with agencies in the U.S. such as TSA, Secret Service, USCG, DOJ, the White House, Transport Canada and CATSA.  We look to expand this to other airports and seaports throughout the world.  

How we do this.  We have most major airports and seaports in the database and are in the process of contacting the individual airports and seaports for additional inforamtion and additions.  We are asking departments to help keep the information current.  Our secure program is easy to use and keep updated. Authorized user officials can access the database exchange information, but cannot change it, on our help desk or your administrator can make the change for your particular page.

Online Buyers Supplier Database

Keeping up with suppliers can be difficult.  The PortBizOpps site allows any supplier or consultant to place their information on the site at no cost.  This will include basic contact information.  The commercial organizations can upgrade and add additional information. The primary contact information is open for all to view except the Library Section allows for presentations, product information, video, press releases, white papers, references and more.

Our next step is to provide for port bids for homeland security/ law enforcement departments.  We look forward to further development in this area and will update our progress on this site.

The PortBizOpps informational site can be seen at PortBizOpps.org, there you will see Debbie who will offer a two minute briefing about the program and offer a tour of the site. If you would like additional information please contact info@usportpolice.org.

The Port Security Council (PSC) serves as a public affairs arm highlighting the people, politics, government actions and industry surrounding the transportation security system and law enforcement and public saftey community.  This is done through white papers, the PSC news website, Port Security News.org, and on periodic basis PSC publishes the Port Security Journal focusing on the people, ports, politics and happenings of port and border security.

FBI Law Enforcement Online The United States Airport and Seaport Police participates in the FBI LEO.gov program (Federal Bureau of Investigation's Law Enforcement Online program).  Law enforcement from the United States, Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom are eligible for the program. Individuals are required to make application or if the individual already has a LEO.gov account, they may go to the SIG tab and look for the U.S. Airport and Seaport Police shield. LEO is a 7 days a week, 24 hours a day online (real-time), controlled-access communications and information sharing data repository. It provides an Internet accessible focal point for electronic Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU) communication and information sharing for the international, federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies. LEO also supports antiterrorism, intelligence, law enforcement, criminal justice, and public safety communities worldwide. Users anywhere in the world can communicate securely using LEO. National Alert System: The LEO National Alert System (NAS) is an alert system that can deliver secure information to 20,000 users/command centers within 5 minutes. The NAS is capable of sending up to 160,000 unsecured notifications to pagers, cellular phones, and other wireless devices to advise that an alert has been sent. The Virtual Control Center:  The VCC is a situational awareness mechanism and crisis management tool that is used for tracking, displaying, and disseminating intelligence and tactical information. In addition, the VCC provides ready access to a wide range of reference materials that are appropriate to the event and/or venue. Because the VCC resides on the LEO system, it can be utilized and/or reviewed by authorized members.  You will find many other LEO programs such as LEEP, NCIC, and LESC on the site. For Additional information on the program and how it works please contact Jay Grant, moderator, USASP at  jgrant6@leo.gov
