Built on Three Foundations
Global Collaboration
A trusted network of airport and seaport police agencies sharing intelligence, standards, and operational frameworks across borders.
Best Practice Standards
Members-only access to vetted operational guidelines, case studies, and security protocols refined through decades of collective expertise.
Evidence-Based Training
Scenario-driven programs built from real-world incident analysis, delivering measurable improvements in frontline readiness.
Global Programs
Preventative Security
Proactive threat identification and risk mitigation strategies tailored for airport and seaport environments.
Active Shooter Response
Tactical protocols and command coordination for mass-casualty incidents in port environments.
Cybersecurity Resilience
Protecting digital infrastructure across aviation and maritime supply chains.
Port Protective Security Management Systems (P²SeMS)
A structured approach to risk governance, compliance, and operational resilience.
Behavioural Analysis
Evidence-based techniques for detecting suspicious behaviour and pre-attack indicators in port environments.
REDI - Readiness as a Service
Simulated enactments of real incidents that mirror an operational response through virtual or seminar exercise programs.
Protecting Humans, Animals, and the Security Circle
A 24-year-old seasoned, low-cost preventive security program
Project See Say Act helps employees within the security circle recognize concerning activity, report it through the appropriate channel, and support a safe and effective response. This wider security circle strengthens the prevention of human trafficking, wildlife and animal trafficking, smuggling, organized crime, terrorism, and other threats affecting transportation communities.
The security circle spans human and wildlife trafficking prevention across airports, seaports, hotels, taxis, rideshare, trucking, logistics, adjoining businesses, and threats extending beyond the authority boundary.

Ready to Join the Network?
Established in the late 1960's, INTERPORTPOLICE focuses on integrating intergovernmental efforts to address security threats, transnational crime, and terrorism affecting critical transportation infrastructure and supply chains.
Years of self-gap analysis, peer review sessions, and insight evaluation have led to the development of a structured, authority-level approach to protective security, operational readiness, and continuous improvement for critical transportation infrastructure.
We support the worldwide AVSEC and MARSEC law enforcement and public safety community, engaging agencies through best-practice exchange, leadership and workforce development, training for prevention and incident response, and a security management framework (P²SeMS) that spans information, physical, cyber, and personnel dimensions, bringing a practitioner-oriented perspective on operational readiness and resilience.
If your authority is responsible for protecting the maritime or aviation domain, we invite your authority to become part of the global team that can make a difference in keeping your community safe. We want to hear from you.
