Who We Are | INTERPORTPOLICE

Enhancing Security Through Protective Guidance & Collaboration

We support port authorities in addressing counterterrorism and security responsibilities by providing targeted preventative and lesson learned security technical assistance to address complex challenges in law enforcement, public safety, and transportation security. Operating at the intergovernmental level, we help define and disseminate best practices, serving as a trusted clearinghouse for actionable operational guidance and collaborating across the AVSEC and MARSEC transportation and supply chain sectors.

We foster collaboration among agencies, international partners, and private sector stakeholders—recognizing that effective security demands a unified, multi-layered approach. Through this cooperative framework, we strengthen public safety, enhance resilience, and promote shared responsibility in safeguarding critical infrastructure and global commerce. It is a collaborative effort among agencies that prevails.

Our emblem and shield were updated in 2011 to incorporate 37 stars representing our fallen colleagues from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Police Department on September 11, 2001. These stars are a continuous reminder never to forget our fallen officers and officials, and to those who follow in their path, working every day to fight terrorism and serious transnational crime. Fred V. Morrone, Superintendent of Police and Director of Public Safety of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Police, was the INTERPORTPOLICE's executive vice president and incoming Board President.

Service and History

Our interagency security organisation was founded over 55 years ago by global authorities to address serious transnational crime. At the heart of our mission is the collaboration between law enforcement and security professionals, working together to safeguard public safety, protect critical infrastructure, and ensure secure transportation, supply chains, and borders.

As a unified global team, we are more effective and resilient—acting as a collective force to meet today’s complex security challenges.

We empower authorities and their security communities worldwide with collective knowledge and capabilities, offering leading security practices, risk mitigation programmes, resources, training, and events.

One of the foremost outcomes is the collaboration and connections made. We invite airport, seaport, transport, and border agencies to take advantage of these programs to further collaborate with other authorities and connected organizations, to stand with them in harmony, and to work for common public safety efforts throughout respective communities and worldwide.
