INTERPORTPOLICE is an international organization working to enhance the safety and security of our transportation systems. For over fifty-five years, we have collaborated with international authorities, sharing expertise, developing best practices, and undertaking consultancy to help mitigate the risks associated with terrorism and criminality across seaports, airports, and related transportation systems.

The Port Security Dimension

A Global Force - Collaborating to Prevent / Protect / Prepare / Pursue

Aviation, Maritime, Border Law Enforcement & Public Safety

A key element of addressing today’s security threat environment is to incorporate practices that have been shown to have proven successful in the past and are sustainable for the future. We have developed strategies, methods, and techniques incorporating evidence-based guidance to provide sustainable solutions.

Through reviews of major incidents, we have learned how to provide security solutions that increase collaboration, refine communication, reduce error, and build resilience.

Organizational Security Assurance

Our Port Security Management System (PSeMS) is a framework that provides a proactive approach for assessing and managing your organisations security risks. Our PSeMS approach raises the profile and importance of security at all levels across an organisation through a framework that brings together processes that include governance, communication, risk management, and performance monitoring. This, when combined with our audit and assessment process provides a powerful and risk proportionate approach to continuously improve security.

Crisis Management

Emergency & Incident Management

Breaking down silos is crucial to the future of any emergency or major incident.

The path forward can be uncertain if silo policy and training reveal systematic shortcomings that limit first responders’ adaptiveness and access to resources, often leading to public safety deficiencies. Effective collaboration & common operations are essential.

It is crucial for an organization to be ready for a sudden impact event while maintaining operational continuity. It requires immediate response and a defined common operational picture to protect public safety, critical infrastructure, and the organization's reputation.

Preservation of life, joint authority/ jurisdictional seamless communications, and public affairs are among the sustainable protocols that must be in place to react to an immediate or prolonged incident. Ports must ensure business operations are an underlined priority.

One of our Greatest Threats

Cyber Security

The Risk: Physical & Virtual:

Prevention is key. Cyberattacks can take various forms, including ransomware, phishing, and denial-of-service attacks.

These attacks can disrupt essential services, compromise security systems, and pose significant risks to public safety and operations.

Robust cybersecurity defenses to physical operational resilience are essential.
